[font=\"tahoma\"][b][color=\"black\"] This was posted (very briefly) on the McDonnell Douglas Website by
an
employee there who obviously has a sense of humour.

The company, of course, does not have a sense of humour, and made
the web
department take it down immediately (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' note
at the
end is worth a read too!)
