This one came today,.thought it was funny!
McDonnell Douglas Warranty Card Info
This was allegedly posted very briefly on the
McDonnell Douglas Website
by an employee there who obviously has a sense of
humor. The company,
of course, does not have a sense of humor, and
made the web department
take it down immediately. (For once, the
'IMPORTANT' note at the end is
worth a read too....)
