unexploded ordnance removal and,
as a special gift, a matching set of steak knives!
The Armed Forces are mostly inertial
When it comes to their acts, controversial;
So their planting of news
Will not end 'til they use
Ron Popeil in the paid infomercial.

Or hire Gallagher to market it along with his Sledge-O-Matic!
Or persuade Gallagher to use his Sledge-O-Matic on the unexploded ordnance and kill two birds with one stoned?
BTW, the "infomercial" link is to "The Enduring Power of Informericials," a very entertaining segment on NPR's "Weekend Edition" from a little over a year ago. Well worth a listen if you're a closet Ron Popeil fan like me.
Will take a listen, I love NPR.
I laughed when I clicked back to this post, because last Saturday, Kman and I were estate sale browsing and I bought a 1968 veg-o-matic for $3 bucks. Went home and sliced an onion - cooool!
