#3 Joe,

As an old B-52 guy, I like the way you think. Brought a tear to my eye.

#4 Warranty phone call:

Russian Factory Warrenty rep (RFWR): This is Ivan, Makdonaldski Dooglasko Defense Missile Systems. How may I help you?

Mamoud Al Akbar( Syrian Al Lockheedi Defense Systems): Yeah, uh, Ivan, we have a little problem with your missile system?

RFWR: I need your name, your company name, your missile model number and serial number and the warranty number, as well as your receipt number.

MAA: ( AFter giving the requested info ) It seems our radars were jammed by an enemy probe of our air defenses.

RFWR: Did you buy the extended warranty package as well as the anti-jamming option?

MAA: Yes, we did and we aren't too happy with this missile system's performance. We would like to discuss a return.

RFWR: All sales are final: No refunds. No returns.

MAA: But we're now vulnerable to air attack from the Zionists!

RFWR: We do offer an upgrade which we warrant really will be jam proof.

MAA: But what about this warranty?

RFWR It is valid with the upgrade.

MAA: Why do I have to upgrade to get a jam proof system?

RFWR: Because it is included in the warranty. In the event it doesn't work, you must buy an upgrade so we can warrant against failure.

MAA: What if the upgrade doesn't work?

RFWR: It will work because it is warranted against failure.

MAA: But what if the upgrade doesn't work?

RFWR: Then you must buy an upgrade.

MAA: ( Hangs up )
