"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - News) In a surprising move
today, Boeing announced that it would be again moving its
headquarters, this time from Chicago to the city of St. Louis, MO.
"I'm tired of having to root for losing sports teams" said Chief
Executive Harry Stonecipher. "The Cards, Blues, and Rams beat the
Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bears any day of the week. Also, Chicago's a
little too fashionable for our comfort. We feel a decayed and dead
urban area surrounded by congested miles of suburbs better fits the
new McDonnel-Boeing." In unrelated news, Boeing announced today it
would start referring to itself as Mcdonnel-Boeing Aerospace, and
change its ticker symbol to MCDB.
