Since I don’t have any humor of my own to post today (I need to get back to reading the Bible), I’ll post one of my favorite bits of internet humor that’s been floating around for years.

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, does not have a sense of humor, and made the web department take it down immediately (for once, the \’IMPORTANT\’ note at the end is worth a read too…).
Thank you for purchasing a McDonnell Douglas military aircraft. In order to protect your new investment, please take a few moments to fill out the warranty registration card below.
