9. I couldn't get over Tommy Tubular trying to say what good economic sense it would make to take the gift of the plane

We have several others on order, and Tommy Tubular was going on about how much more sense it made to take a $400 million gift that it would to spend a billion on a plane from scratch. He conveniently ignores the fact that to make a plane used for 13 years by another nation would have to be stripped bare for listening and monitoring devices (all of which, our guys would almost certainly NOT find), a process which would take years and cost UPWARDS of a billion.

I guess it's no miracle that Tommy coached football, and did not teach engineering, electronics or arithmetic.
