"Nitroglycerin" is a word in ENGLISH
A liquid appearing like a heavy oil, colorless or
yellowish, and consisting of a mixture of several glycerin salts of
nitric acid, and hence more properly called glycerin nitrate. It is
made by the action of nitric acid on glycerin in the presence of
sulphuric acid. It is extremely unstable and terribly explosive. A very
dilute solution is used in medicine as a neurotic under the name of
glonion.

Little Tommy's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station. There they saw pictures tacked to a big bulletin board. The label clearly read, "The 10 Most Wanted."One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person."Yes," said the policeman, "the detectives want him very badly."So Little Tommy asked, while tugging on the man's belt, "Um, mister, why didn't you keep them when you took their pictures?"
