I received this in my Inbox today.
| Quote: | Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch
dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military
jets all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate
the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test
the strength of the windshields.
American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test
it on the windshields of their new high speed trains.
Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American
engineers.
When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the
chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof
shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control
console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded
itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of
the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and
begged the British scientists for suggestions.
You're going to love this......
Rolls Royce responded with the following one-line memo:
"Defrost the chicken."
