Good one!


Even worse is if the guy has a WWV implant
and notices that the clock is off by a second!

You mean "you know your passenger is a ham when ..."
If he were a geek, the clock would read out in BINARY (or Hexadecimal).

I worked on mainframe computer systems for 27 years and had a BCD
clock with neon lamp display, the counters used 12AX7s. It ran on my
desk for years and one of the new guys had built one using 74 seies
ICs. He just could not believe it the day he saw me changing tubes in
my clock.

I remember seeing a T shirt with "...as easy as Pi" someplace. Same idea.

Last year I gave my wife a shirt that said "if you're not part of the
solution, you're part of the precipitate." (She's a biologist) and my son
got "I'm as [Gaussian distribution equation] as anyone," both from
Thinkgeek.com.

I saw plans for a one-button Morse Code electronic combination lock once,
but never got around to making one. Also, it would be nice if someone made
a Java ap. that allowed text entry via Morse code. My daughter can type
fast and accurately without looking using T9 on the keypad, but I always end
up with the wrong ambiguous word (e. g. "good" in place of "home") in my
messages.
