This was allegedly posted very briefly on the McDonnell Douglas website by an employee who obviously has a sense of humour. The company, of course, does not and made the web department take it down immediately. (McDonnell Douglas is one of the world's chief suppliers of military aircraft.) Now in examing the form below, its fairly obvious that this, in all likelihood was NOT posted to the Mac Website. (McDonnell Douglas is now owned by Boeing).
I am going to revise this to come up with a definitive version of it that is "more accurate."
