The F-Bomb has been successfully tested.

The Army announced today that the first successful F-Bomb test has taken place in the New Mexico desert. The F-Bomb – which is not nuclear but still produces a mushroom cloud – was begun after the above ground testing ban treaty in the 1960’s. “There was a lot of research left undone.” according to Dr. Renaldo Hererra, chief of Munitions Linguistics at Los Alamos. “We went straight from the A-Bomb to the H-Bomb, omitting everything in between. The B project showed promise, but C through E were complete failures. It’s good to finally have some success.”

Having grown up around the military and served myself, I had inklings that this one has been in the works for some time.

    Since a threat to use a nuclear bomb would be “We’re gonna nuke you”, would a threat to use this bomb be “We’re gonna F… you”?

    Hey, I know a guy who worked on the D, E, and F projects. He said F is explosive enough, but it’s too bulky. What they really need is something as light as, say, a string of thread. He says he’s trying to get himself assigned to the G-string project.

    Gee; and I thought A stood for ATOM, and H stood for Hydrogen. I didn’t know Ol’ Henry Ford ran the program![lol]

    Careful Pat …I think George Carlin has a patent on that line. That’s one of his earliest bits, circa 1971.

    Bithead,

    Really!? I know of George Carlin, in fact I may have seen one of his shows on TV, but I didn’t know that he said something of this nature. I guess great minds think alike, huh?
