[Milsurplus] Question about EMP

[Dick]

I must admit that I had a great bean counter assigned to me for a couplke of 
years.
He was great.  He knew his stuff and wass always able to tell me the 
cost/schedule
status of any of several progrzam I had in my division.  At my retirement 
party, I
presented him with a bag of pinto beans and bestowed on him the title of 
"Legume
Logistician."

Most of them, tough, are the source of a very high index of rectal 
discomfort!!!

  Same with the Hubble 'scope, John.  Some #@! bean counter
  decided to save $100 K by not doing the final mirror accuracy test.

A friend of mine worked at PE on that program. He was pretty graphic
about it. A former employee of mine worked on the fix optics?

  Hubble turned out to be nearsighted.
  Money saved:  $100 K
  Cost of a shuttle trip to fix hubble:  several million.

Try Billions.

  Plumbing is starting to look attractive.  The only thing to keep
  in mind is that it rolls downhill.

 Plumbers need to know:

Shit flows downhill
Payday is Thursday.

A plumber I know is now a landlord. Better money...  less work.

Take care,
