Lockheed definetly, then Boeing, wipe my a$$ with airbus!! hee hee

which reminds me, i wonder if the company that makes Osama bin Laden toilet paper would make airbus TP?

it would have several different airbus pics,and under the pic it would say "Non stop service from the roll to your hole"

These things go in cycles, one manufacturer steals a lead for a while, the other counter attacks with a new model and regains a lead, and so it goes on. Both produce magnificent aircraft, people who pretend one of the two is rubbish or sub standard are probably blinded by a brand loyalty, no offence to anybody As for me, my favourite is neither, I'm a Douglas fan through and through

Well, this could be the longest DAC post ever - I would have to go with less filling, but I am staying out of this one.

Here's an oldie but a goodie from way back when: "when you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer!" Or in Polish: Niema Schlitza, niema piwa!

And it's LESS FILLING!!!! (Gotcha, Dr. Chicken! )

Thumbs down

We're talking Miller Lite here, right? Then I say less filling because the words 'tastes great' and 'Miller Lite' absolutely do not belong in the same sentence. Thats why most American beers are served so cold - so the drinker can distinguish it from piss water.

"I bet George Zip had plans after the war", I bet he would say TASTES GREAT if only he we are alive today.

Yeah, you busted me there, Tom. Miller really is JUST less filling, I was obligated to say "tastes great" to keep the joke going.

Be sure to win one for the Zipper.

No Pepsi products touch these lips. Which made things really difficult for me on my last vacation, since all myflights were on Northwest Oh and as for the original question, I am going to have to go with Lockheed.
