I Don't know if this will be a regular updated page, but we had this joke e-mailed to us and we really enjoyed it.  We hope you do too!

Thanks For Visiting Our Site!!

 
A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT YOUR NEW MILITARY AIRCRAFT PURCHASE 
This was allegedly posted very briefly on the McDonnell Douglas 
Website by an employee who obviously has a sense of humor. The 
company, of course, does not have a sense of humor, and made the 
web department take it down immediately (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' 
note at the end is worth a read too...):
