It was not the CIA It was the U.S. Navy. It was not a half a
million. It was several hundred dollars. Oh and it was not a toilet
seat. It was the fiber glass cover for a "honey bucket" on which a
normal toilet seat was mounted. And the expence was because the part
was classified Top Secret. The CIA wastes its money on other things.

Uhhh, guy, that was SARCASM dripping from your screen when you read this. =)
I was exaggerating. And actually, that all goes into slush funds for black
ops projects anyways. Until one of those black ops projects knocks down my
door, I'm not gonna worry about it.
