LOL, I wonder if they x-ray the toilet seat for a crack, or the other way
around, x-ray the crack which will set on the seat? Also, I wonder if they
tested each seat for comfort? You know, we wouldn't want any "Rear
Admiral" to not be comfortable as they read their magazines, or catch a
"draft", no pun intended.....
Best,
Will

I just had to jump in on this, where I worked we did a lot of testing of
parts for the military. When they request that each bolt to hold a tail
on a airplane be machined to an extra close tolerance , inspected 100%
and each one be checked for hardness and then x-rayed for cracks ,
cleaned and an dry film lube baked on it cost more than a bolt from home
depot. My only regrets after working there for 40 years, I never got to
test a $3,000 toilet seat

Well of course, the e-mail was from the Defense Electronics newsletter.
I
had an alterior motive showing another $3,000 toilet seat, etc.. But,
evidently, they have been using mil. grade 2N2222's and 2N2907's. ---
Just seems like anything Uncle Sam buys is 1000 times the price.
No, no....those are radiation-hardened MOSFETs for Military use. What
