I want an F-16.

Maybe UPS will “misdeliver” an Aston Martin to me. One can dream, right?

At least the UPS driver didn't do the following.

Dang!

Nothing like that ever happens to me.

I’m hoping for a similar delivery. The Army wouldn’t miss little ol’ M113, would they?

[Slings and Arrows]

I once found $15. Not quite the same thing.

[Darksheare]

Not my fault.
Nor my coffee.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I saved 15% on my auto insurance.

If they’re gonna mis-ship something to me, I want a Ma Deuce.

Years ago, I worked a couple of programs with the Picatinny Arsenal. I got to tour their weapons systems floor where they had all sorts of M113 equipped with M2-HB arrays, heavy duty mortar pits and so on. It was really a treat for me.

Sounds like a blast. (No pun intended.)
