Dave & Janice:
 
I must admit I went for the hook, I, a born American, was taken in by your
tale..good shot!
 
Having retired from the Dept of Defense, nothing it could possibly fund would
surprise me! (especially anything from the Vietnam Era). They really do fund
some wacky stuff, you just have to know how to hit them right with a proposal
written in top-notch bureaucratic terminology. (Maybe, you should really
propose some such nonsense-might get a big grant!!)
 
Great tale..enjoyed your sense of humor!
