Procedure In The Event Of A Viking Raid

This came from a friend's web site. I don't know who wrote it, but it's sick enough to twirl my propeller, so here it is. Enjoy.


Since the decline of the Carolingian Empire in the 10th century, NASA Ames Research Center has been subject to periodic raids by Viking marauders. These marauders generally attack in search of gold, religious icons, and other forms of plunder. The NASA Ames Barbarian Affairs Office has established the following procedures for defense against Viking raids:

Defense Against Viking Raids

1.0 Complete a DAVR-820AD - 'Identifying a Barbarian Attack' - to determine if the visitors are Viking raiders.

1.1 Are the strangers wearing weapons, helmets, and armor?

1.2 Do the strangers lack trade goods or other evidence that they might only be peaceful merchants?

1.3 Do the strangers have NASA Ames visitor ID badges?

1.31 If so, do these badges identify the visitors as Viking raiders?

2.0 Fill out Viking Raid Logbook in Division Office.

3.0 Complete a DAVR-1066AD - 'Report of Viking Raid'
