Warrenty
This was allegedly 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…….).
