Yoiks! I'm Awake!

[swestrup]

I'm now busily reading my online comics, but I just came accross this quote:

Today's Fortune Cookie:
Our congratulations go to a Burlington Vermont civilian employee of the local Army National Guard base. He recently received a substational cash award from our government for inventing a device for optical scanning. His device reportedly will save the government more than $6 million a year by replacing a more expensive helicopter maintenance tool with his own, home-made, hand-held model.

Not suprisingly, we also have a couple of money-saving ideas that we submit to the Pentagon free of charge:

(a) Don't kill anybody.
(b) Don't build things that do.
(c) And don't pay other people to kill anybody.

We expect annual savings to be in the billions.
