<Brain>  "PINKY!  ...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

<Pinky>  "Uh, I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a silencer big enough to put on a tank?"

I gotcher tank¹ silencer right here.

[1]  Yes, I know it's not technically a tank, it's an M109 self-propelled 155mm howitzer.  But do you really think Pinky knows the difference?  He's barking² insane.

[2]  And that's not easy when you're a mouse.

I so want to call that photoshopped! Why in the world was it painted camo? It's too be to be useful in the field! I'm guessing it's actually something for training or research...

As the comments explain, it's for noise reduction during gunnery practice because good civic-minded German citizens were complaining about the noise of heavy artillery. It's camo-painted because, well, it's the Army. ANYTHING that doesn't rate a salute gets painted camo. :)
