Up until now I had absolutely no idea that the adverse advocator assumption was a legal problem.

I have long wanted to find an excuse to put a turbo encabulator (my favorite type of encabulator) onto one of the satellites that I worked on, but I couldn’t get the bosses to allocate the weight budget for one. Or to see the need for one, for that matter.

Meanwhile, I had found a few uses for unobtainium, but I never found a reliable supplier or the material safety data sheets for it, so I never flew that, either.

I had to look up what an “encabulator” was before I knew I’d been had. Well played, Steve!

Finding and ordering OEM parts is crazy.

But April 1 seems much more appropriate.

I hope they get the toilet sorted out in the Orion capsule.The weekend rates for a plumber up there would be astronomical.

Its conceptual morass was seriously delivered and easily mistaken for thoughtful commentary! If I knew how to find it I would post it here,
