So, Im watching the war history channel, as usual, & the show is about junkyards: ships, tanks, etc. This bit was about ICBM's. And Im thinking: Jeez, Ike was smart. These friggin things empty the Boobs wallets to build (cue: But the Russkis woulda murdered us in our beds! and I think: yeah? they get everyone blown up, WHO ARE THEY GONNA TAX??) Ive been thinkin this a while, you see. And I watch these umpty billion dolla things get junk yard stripped, & Im thinkin: well, friggin christcreeps, why cant I buy the grade 12 fasteners for my scoots (that be motorcycles to you yup types) surplus? But noooooo.
