Well, the S is going to HTF on THAT, for sure!



I won't be surprised if some govt. burueacracy forces them to install inflatable liferafts with hydrostatic releases. Not sure how they would ever release hydrostatically, but that's probably not going to be thought about by a burueacracy.

The best line from the story for those who don't follow the link...

"Now Hank and George, while sometimes are ornery, they are not terrorists," Dent said."

Of course Hank and George are the mules. grin

Most of the policy makers tend to be another term for mule. Perhaps being down wind of a mule that has eaten bad hay qualifies it as a WMD!
