flash an SOS message in Morse code."

Boy, Lenny Anderson is going to be ****ed. That's not the sort
of CW news he likes to hear. Lucky for the sailor there was
still someone out there that knew code.

unless its in morse.

Unless one does know the distress signal in Morse, why would anyone consider
that someone was signaling a problem. They could just as easily have
thought it was some kids goofing off.

Is it still Morse Code if the speed is measured in words per hour?

Imagine lighting and extinguishing a torch to send SOS. Bring your
lunch and fire extinguisher.

ROFL! What a dip****.

In the UK, a flashlight is a torch. You're getting to be as bad as Mark
in the Dark. I knew if you two put your cards together you still wouldn't
be playing with a full deck.

In the UK, one of the common meanings of "torch" is what Americans call
a "flashlight".

Must be a plastic one. My aluminum maglight won't catch fire unless
you jack it up in a 225 amp lincoln stick welder.

I guess that's the difference between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals.

I happen to know the difference between flashlights and torches.
Cavemen carry torches.
