Ahem, Jim, the first thing that comes to mind is "morse code." :-)


Then again, that's the first thing to come to your mind when someone
writes of helium balloons or of amateur radio in an emergency or of the
ARRL, or of military communications. :-) :-)

And there you have it. Somehow or another, every thread seems to get
turned into Morse code.

Morse code is like my socks. I like to wear them, but I don't always
want to talk about my socks.

"Morse code is like your socks?!?"

That is indeed strange!

Shall we "sock it to you?" [defunct TV show phrase]

Do you use a straight sock or do you have bugs in your shoes?

Oddly enough, there are some who only want to talk about socks.

You have to quit hanging around those foot fetishists.

Are you demanding all who take a U.S. amateur radio license test
wear socks?

Why?

Maybe you want restaurants to change their "no shoes, no service"
signs to include "no morse code ability, no service?"

How long have you had this obsession about socks?

Do you like to use the phrase "that socks?"

You are most strange.
