FWD: Keep those proof of purchase slips!

03/25/1998


I don't believe for a second this was ever on the McDonnell Douglas
website, but it's still pretty damn funny -- Andrea

______________________________________________________
This was actually 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 - and made
the web department take it down immediately.

(In case you don't know: McDonnell Douglas is one of the
world's chief suppliers of military aircraft).
