| John, Wow, I like talking in code. That takes me back to my old spy days in the Army. Of course, I was always breaking code because people were forever not telling me about the changes. I wasn't the worst one, though. We had one guy who was a code tripping terror. We were at a supposedly super secret "big ears" station in Gartow, Germany. And we were expected to receive important tactical communications from an airplane that didn't exist. So, all the converstation had to be conducted in short bursts of coded messages. Well, my buddy didn't get the code changes and couldn't figure out what was going on with the static on the radio. So, in the open, he broadcast "Airplane, airplane, this is Gartow. Please come in." That took care of the secret part of two operational units. <g> No wonder the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia. |
