The Answer: Believe it or not, S O S, the international distress signal, doesn't stand for anything. Some people think that it stands for "Save Our Ship" or "Save Our Souls," but it's just not true. Those famous three letters don't stand for a thing. In fact, they were only chosen to indicate distress because they're easy to communicate in Morse code: three dots, three dashes, three dots, and because of their distinctiveness.

It had a mechanical (shutter type) volume control, and was marked 'Code 1' Any idea what frequency they were on? -Was the PRC-68B(V)2 high-band radio ever produced? -What was a PRC-68(X)? PRC-68(L)? -What is the difference between a URC-104 and URC-111? -What is the battery number and voltage for a URC-64? -For the PRC-70, is there a TM 11-5820-553-35? If not, what is the maintenance manual number? -What is the difference between a PRC-75 and the A version and the B version? -What is the difference between a PRC-113 and the A version and the B version? -ELTs used to be mostly on 243.0 MHz. Rumor has it they moved. Did they? If so, where to? -What was a KEL something or other. Kel Com used to be a company here in the Boston area that was owned for a while by Bell and Howell. Did they make these? -Did they ever make any PRC-66 guard receivers?

Three convicts were on the way to prison. They were each allowed to take one item with them to help them occupy their time while incarcerated. On the bus, one turned to another and said, "So, what did you bring?" The second convict pulled out a box of paints and stated that he intended to paint anything he could. He wanted to become the "Grandma Moses of Jail." Then he asked the first, "What did you bring?" The first convict pulled out a deck of cards and grinned and said, "I brought cards. I can play poker, solitaire and gin, and any number of games." The third convict was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself. The other two took notice and asked, "Why are you so smug? What did you bring?" The guy pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said, "I brought these." The other two were puzzled and asked, "What can you do with those?" He grinned and pointed to the box and said, "Well according to the box, I can go horseback riding, swimming, roller-skating...." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The junior high school principal had a problem with some girls who were starting to use lipstick. When applying it in the bathroom they would blot their lips on the mirrors, leaving lip prints. So he spoke to the teachers and asked them for their help. They promised they would speak to the girls, but after two weeks, the situation didn't improve at all. He even called a few of the girls parents who were his friends for their advice, but to no avail. The mirrors were constantly a mess. Finally he thought of a way to stop it. One day he gathered together all the girls who wore lipstick. He then took them into the bathroom and lectured about how hard it was to clean the lipstick off the mirrors. You could see the young girls smiling at each other, all nodding publicly but smirking to one another. The principal then asked the custodian, who was present, to demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors. The custodian took a long handled brush, dipped it into the toilet and vigorously rubbed the lipstick off the mirror. From that day forward, the mirrors stayed lipstick free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was the stir of the town when an 80 year old man married a 20 year old girl. After a year went by , she went into the hospital to give birth. The nurse came out to congratulate the fellow saying "This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?" He answered " You've got to keep that old motor running." The following year she gave birth again. The same nurse said "You really are amazing. How do you do it?" He again said "You've got to keep the old motor running," The same thing happened the next year. The nurse said "You must be Quite a man." He responded "You've got to keep that old motor running." The nurse then said, "Well, you had better change the oil. This one's black"!!! *********************************************** (The preceding was a product of the"Military Collector Group Post", an international email magazine dedicated to the preservation of history and the equipment that made it.
