I love hearing about these sorts of invoices between agencies and armed services etc. I guess it is the equivalent of macabre dark humour used by emergency service personnel and medical staff - a way to cope with the daily stress and trials of the job.
Many decades ago, the US Air Force donated a B-52 to our local aviation museum. There were some issues around 'procurement of foreign military equipment' and import laws, I believe, so to get around that, the US had to issue an invoice to Australia to formalise the purchase of the aircraft. Proudly displayed in a glass case next under the nose of the huge bomber is an official US Dept. of Defence invoice. Total value $1.00 for the plane.
