"Lockheed Martin Consumer Hotline. How may I help you?"

"Um, I must have dialed the wrong number. I was calling to complain about a can of funky tasting soup."

"Oh, you've reached the right number!"

~snip~

"Yes. I'm a specialist in the F-35 division, and I'll be happy to assist you."



unhappycamper comment: Four paragraphs do not give the 'flavor' of this article. I suggest you go to the link.

My favorite blurb:

"So you've made yourself invincible from cuts because none of the lawmakers in those states wants to touch a penny of the project."

"Coincidence. And even if it were a case of 'political engineering,' as some people allege, let's not underestimate the ability of the five states not working on the F-35 to gang up on us and cause us problems."

"North Dakota, Wyoming, Louisiana, Alaska and Hawaii?"

"Plus Guam."
