The General disliked trying to explain the highly technical inner
workings of the U.S. Air Force. "$7,662 for a ten cup coffee maker,
General?" the Senator asked. In his head he ran through his standard
explanations. "It's not so," he thought. "It's a deterrent." Soon
he came up with, "It's computerized, Senator. Tiny computer chips
make coffee that's smooth and full-bodied. Try a cup." The Senator
did. "Pfffttt! Tastes like jet fuel!" "It's not so," the General
thought. "It's a deterrent." Then he remembered something. "We
bought a lot of untested computer chips," the General answered. "They
got into everything. Just a little mix-up. Nothing serious." Then he
remembered something else. It was at the site of the mysterious B-1
crash. A strange smell in the fuel lines. It smelled like coffee.
Smooth and full bodied... Another Episode of General's Hospital
