Of course, no one is really going to take a proposal seriously to
allow nonsmokers to defend themselves with water pistols.  Not that
it's a bad idea, but rather just that it sounds silly, because a
water pistol is a toy, and because a lot of customers would object.

But every silly idea has a grain of humor in it.  A restaurant that
didn't want to allow smoking could have a sign in the dining room
reading something like "No Smoking Allowed.  Violators will be shot in
the face with a water pistol."  The combination of silliness and
starkness, plus the slight uncertainty of whether it might really be
enforced, would serve as a much better reminder than would an ordinary
no-smoking sign.
