The inevitable end result of our last 56 years

Kirk:

Here is a project for you. Try to find out the price of a toilet seat for a B-52.

If the information is unclassified, you can probably do it. 

BTW, the toilet seats on the C-17s are very nice. 

"For example, Roper said he could 3D print new toilet seat covers for C-17 Globemaster IIIs at a cost of roughly $300 per seat. But because the manufacturer owns the rights, the service needs to rely on industry to instead produce the item at a whopping $10,000 per seat."

Maybe Trump absconded with those "toilet seat" files!

As I recall, the price of toilet seats in a B-52 was once classified....

 

No, no no. Everybody has known about the $1000 toilet seat for what 20 years now? You used this as evidence to further go on your "secret government" theme, but the question is: Find me the source that this information was classified, please.

A fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their parents do for a living. All the typical answers came up - mechanic, business, sales, doctor, engineer... and so forth.
However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his parents, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes to music in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little Justin aside. "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He works for the Republican Party and is trying to get Rubio and DeSantis re-elected, but it's too embarrassing to say that in front of the other kids.

Joe:

What a moving real-life story! And I have one of a different type. Did I not state in this forum years ago that you are a natural born writer with tremendous talent and that it is not too late to write a first-hand story and submit it to The New Yorker or Harper's or another publication? The cost is negligible: about four sheets of paper, an envelope and two first class stamps. Time's a wasting for you to be discovered for fame and fortune, buddy.
