@Captain Lumpy Dog:
I've measured myself with a machometer and currently I'm at Macho 2.5 .
It used to be Macho 3 when I used to bench 250 lbs.

What I want to know is how much British Air or Air France got for the sale of the plane.

It turns out that the Pentagon WAS paying the market price for a toilet seat, after all!

Err... Not meaning to be a cheeky monkey, but I believe the term is "machmeter." Sorry!

I wouldn't mind a supersonic toiletseat. There's nothing like an earsplitting BOOM to really make you shit yourself. Bombs away indeed.

People with money.
Well, people with too much money, that is.

But if you own a house with a garden measured in square kilometers, I suppose you could build a little pavilion for the landing gear.

And the machometer... well, since they probably also bought the supersonic toilet, why not have the speed reader installed with the flush, to see just how fast the shit hits the fan...!
