The difference between a personal audit, though, and a company audit or between a personal audit and this government audit is, in a personal audit when you going to buy a house they verify virtually everything. And I just like to make the point that when they went through this government audit, they pulled out a random sampling to do these lookings. So these examples that I have got here of what they found in the audit, it is not like they audited the entire Navy and looked for every ship the Navy had. They pulled out a limited number. As a matter of fact, this first one I got a picture of here, they pulled out 79 ships. They could not find 21 out of 79 ships that were supposed to be available. Just think about this for a minute. The Navy says these ships are there and they are waiting to be used. They are called inactive status at this point. Seventy-nine of these ships are supposed to be there. They went looking for these things. They could not find 21. I mean we are not talking about a rubber ducky here in a bathtub. We are talking about a naval ship that they could not find. Think about what that means if there were ever a serious conflict in this Nation.
