My favorite, in this lifetime, has to do with the Three Wisemen (God, if I had half a brain) Why did the Three Wisemen have ashes on their feet? Because they had just come from a "far'. "fire." Good People. After, a fire, God's people must see the inference of language.

Let me add two more courtesy of the German Air Force student pilots in F-4 school at George AFB, CA.- Radar does not operate in OFFICIAL (OFF) mode.
- Radar does not operate in STUBBY mode (STBY or STandBY).
I wish I could remember some more, but it's been years since I had all that fun.
