Warrantee Registration

This was actually 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 - and made the web department take it down
immediately. (In case you don't know: McDonnell Douglas is one of the
world's chief suppliers of military aircraft).
