I work for "a VERY large government contractor" - the company has over 125k employees.  the plant where I work alone has 13k.
 

Wait a minute...  If your plant has 13,000 employees, why do you have to work alone?  
 
Oh, nevermind.  It's a government contractor.  The other 12,999 are probably all management.

After hearing him sing lately I want less Paul too.
 
In all fairness he's not quite as bad off as Stephen Stills.
 
Come to think of it there are frogs that sing better than I do 
 

Id much rather work for Gibson than for Fender... but I cannot get into why because it would be a violation of the TOS.
 
Also, there are more differences between the LP Standard (for example) and a guitar like the R-8 or R-9 (Historic RIs) the biggest and most importat difference being the depth of the neck pocket. I all production models the neck pocket is not as deep. In the Historics such as the R-8 the neck pocket extends to the neck pickup, it makes a difference in tone.... pickups, knobs, and bindings all aside, this one difference is big, IMO.

There's that 13 again. I hope you weren't the 13th hired.

Let's see, a "very large" government contractor in Texas...OK, so do you know anything about the billions Halliburton "lost"? If so, I'll keep quiet if you let me in on it.

LOL - nope, wrong contractor!  (tho, what else would you expect me to say? )  I work for the LARGEST US govt contractor.  the headquarters of the company I work for is not in Texas, it's in Maryland.

There are VERY few things I miss about working for a defense contractor.
