Subject: ECHO_FOXTROT
The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln was finally inching up to
the pier at homeport when the Captain of the ship noticed a sailor on the
flight deck gesturing wildly with semaphore flags. He then noticed an
attractive young woman standing on top of a station wagon, also
waving semaphore flags.
Always concerned about security and never having seen something like
this, the Captain barked at his Bridge Signalman, "What message are those
two people sending?" The Signalman concentrated intently and soon
reported, "Sir, he is sending FOXTROT-FOXTROT and she is sending
ECHO-FOXTROT."
Not having any clue as to what these messages could mean, the Captain
dispatched an armed MAA to escort the sailor back to the Bridge. The
sailor arrived, out of breath from running up the many ladders to the
bridge, and saluted smartly. "Seaman Endicott reporting as ordered,
sir!"
"Seaman", shouted the Captain, "Who is that woman on the pier and why
are you exchanging signals FF and EF?"
"Sir, that's my wife, Sir, and she wants to eat first!"
