Yep. I also wonder why you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway.

Or why, if you want to encouage safe driving, you require seat belts and airbags instead of banning them? Want a safe driver? Replace the drivers side airbag with an 8" steel spike in the steering column. ;D

I've heard this example used to show the stupidity of folks.  It actually shows the opposite. These keyboards are found at drive thru ATMs so different product assembly lines and inventories don't need to be kept for braille/non-braille keyboards.

Also, the end user would have order the correct number of each, and then manage getting different ones out to the installers.

Using the standard keyboard makes a lot of sense.

To give some protection during the flight so they have a better chance of completing their mission.

No helmet = no radio.  No communications = hard to find target.

Why do we not call a tooth brush a teeth brush.

If a man does something wrong and there is no woman around to complain is he still wrong.

I was always taught that two wrongs don't make a right.

However, I found that three lefts make a right.

Four lefts make a NASCAR race.

Rule #1  Women are always right!

Rule #2  When a woman is wrong, see Rule #1 above!
