 too....)

 Hmm, some things are funny--tthis little item is beyond funny !  I laughed and laughed and laughed some more until--once I had sort of gotten control of myself, I had to read the thing to the workmen here who wondered if I had suddenly gone completely off the deep end.  Then THEY laughed!  It cost us about 15 minutes of worktime for this but was worth it.
 
 And I m not sure if this should be filed under I for Irony, S for Sarcasm or D for Downright  Hilarious[;)]
 
 If you dont rush through this  but stop and digest it a bit, it becomes even funnier, especially the disclaimer at the end.

 Turn KeyMy coworkers are pretty sure that I ve finally lost it (they all just knew it was only a matter of time anyway) as I sit here giggling at my computer screen.  Of course, I immediately e-mailed it to all my friends.  Thanks for sharing.  Sometimes, it s better to laugh than to cry.

 Turn KeyI was kinda wondering. if you orderd a stealh fighter how would you even know if you got one. They are suppose to be invisable. And even if you found your plane do you have to use stealh bombs . If you didn t you would be able to see the bombs flying though the air.
