Thumbs up

(Potential scooby in a lake)

It's nice to know at least one person in the military-industrial complex has
a sense of humor ... This was allegedly posted (very briefly) on the
McDonnell Douglas Website by an employee there who obviously has a sense of
humor. The company, of course, did not share in the humor, and made the web
department take it down immediately; (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' note at the
end is worth a read too).
