"Boss! We are close to getting her running and have narrowed the problem down to a couple of things....The Greenies think the Ignition Harness is wet and the Liney's are telling me it is water in the fuel system.....and the Pilot is saying he can't see any Caution or Warning Lights!

River Harrier or Pond Harrier just doesn't sound the same.

Minister of Defence: You know if we could make those Harriers float we would not need those bloody expensive Aircraft Carriers !

Deputy Minister of Defence: Well we already thought of that and despite a few setbacks in the trials I am confident we are well on our way to a successful outcome.

Someone needs to tell those naval pilots that 'yes, you probably can walk on water but don't try it with a Harrier'

------------------------------------------------

I thought that when you joined the Navy, the first thing they taught you is why and how things could float - obviously Harrier pilots did not get the message...
