This seems like a good candidate for one of those real men of genius commercials they used to do in the late 90’s. Shame this is reality.

Remember that those commercials used to say "real American heroes" instead of "real men of genius", until 9/11 happened.

Oh wow you’re right, I forgot that…that explains why they had a gap in the commercials around 9/11
