Okay... You guys have got to check this one out too... Who had ANY idea that a lawnmower had better flight characteristics then our CF-18's?!?!?!

It's doing loopty-loops!!!
Minister of Defence: "No, no folks those are not in fact alien ships from another world, they're simply the best and most useful invention that has come from the backwoods folks and red-necks of North America... And I think we're going to use those to help sustain our role in NORAD by ordered 100 of them and having them monitor our airspace remotely as a state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicle!".
Media: "Sir, what are we suppose to do if someone breaches Canadian Airspace? What weapons will these unmanned aerial vehicles have to defend us with?"
Minister of Defence: "Stubby beer bottles leftover from the early 1980's we confiscated from the military will be atattched to the fuselauge and the idea is to drop them on incomming enemy aircraft directly into the cockpit so as to smash the cockpit glass/window and make the pilot not be able to effectively manuever his aircraft!. .. ... That and they will only cost approximately $5000 an hour to operate in flight and not our current $30,000/hour of in-flight time for the CF-18's... Saving that money will enable us to have a backup anti-aircraft system, in this system...."
Okay, so I might have gotten carried away, but the second thing that popped into my head was, "I bet those would be a lot cheaper then operating CF-18's!"...
Lol....
:rofl:
I might have went out on a limb here? Anyone else find that funny or should I go back in my cage???
