...and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.

A little something in a comment from a friend of mine in the Navy:

[-] This week's best quote written on a GBU-12 (laser guided [-] 500 lb. bomb) bound for Afghanistan: [-] "Hijack THIS bitch". [-] Second best: [-] "Here's for making me miss out on all the sex and beer, [-] asshole". (On a GBU-32, GPS-guided 1000 lb. bomb).

That's something I can see Major T. J. "King" Kong riding on.
