Military Intelligence

I've just reheard the term "military intelligenge". Let me tell you my experience. I did a job for the navy. They wanted a fully automatic elevator system placed inside of a jet fuel storage tank. A 20 million gallon tank. 250 feet tall and 200 feet wide. Under a volcano. So I fly to Honolulu and meet with the navy brass at Pearl Harbor. The top three guys are Japanese (???). One tells me he wants a deadman switch in the cab (a button that must be held down to operate the cab). The next guy says it must have a sign in the cab that reads "Material And Personnel Must Not Ride In Cab At Same Time". I blink repeatedly. For a while (wait for it). Then they get it. I have to fly home (5000 miles) and return a month later while they fix this glitch. True story. A month.
