An epiphany

This suddenly occurred to me over the week end.

There are three substances in the know universe that - when properly applied - can make anything better:

- Chocolate

- Bacon

- High explosives

Actually there is only one thing that takes care of absolutely everything.


Death.



Found out today that Neil Armstrong died from complications during heart surgery. Could have been me......

In the Air Force, we learned you could stretch a gnat's a$$ over a telephone pole with WD-40.

There are two substances in the universe that mechanical engineers long for. They CAN NOT BE broken, worn out, eroded, stretched, compressed, burnt, or in any way damaged. They will withstand any form of abuse know to mankind. Also they can be used interchangeably.
They are: Cantafordium and Unabtainium
Although I prefer unabtainium I am usually forced to use cantafordium (at the great dismay of the purchasing department.
The substances listed in the thread, although stellar in their abilities, pale when compared to these two rare elements.

Caution, certain agencies keep a close eye on those that have occasion to be in possession of ANY quantity of either of these elements. Be advised, if you come to be detained for possessing either of them, I DO NOT KNOW YOU.
