During long boring meetings at an Aerospace company, my buddy and I would
send Morse by pencil taps, sharp tap was a dit and a tap-scrape was a dah.
Worked well until a new manager gave his fist talk assuring us nothing would
change - we tapped out BS.
After the meeting, the new manager asked my buddy and I to stay for a moment
after the meeting,
With a smile, he sed Hi guys -- I'm W#XYZ
