-------------Forwarded Message-----------------
This was actually posted very briefly on the McDonnell Douglas
(a large supplier of military aircraft) website by
an employee there who obviously has a sense of humor.
The company, of course, does not (have a sense of humor) - and
made the web department take it down immediately.
