#1 Reminds me of an old joke:

An American is talking with a Soviet guy about missiles.

The American says: "Our system is very advanced. When our missile fails we have a button so that the expert can blow it up."

Says the Soviet guy

"Oh we are much more advanced, we have two buttons for that."

"Two buttons?"

"Yes, one button to blow up missile, other button to blow up expert."

#2 We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day...
