Hmmm…

“…Is the second character in the launch code a number”?

_My Sources Say No_

“Is it a vowel?”

_It is certain_

“Is it ‘A’?”

_Outlook not so good_

“Is it ‘E’?”

_It is decidedly so_

“Sweet! Now…is the third character in the launch code a number?”

_Signs Point to Yes_

“Is it a prime number?”

_You may rely on it_

etc.  
Prolly good that I didn’t join up. \>;)

It’s really scary when the Air Force does things the way they do it in a Spongebob Squarepants cartoon.

I was thinking _Rocko’s Modern Life_, but you’re right- there was a _SpongeBob_ with a similar plot, too. Although the _Rocko_ is more easily applied to this situation, as it involved an office. Right? (shakes talking Magic 8-Ball®) Yes, but it is not certain.
