There was recently a thread here on the subject of whether morse

HUH? Morse is Morse regardless if it is done with a key, a Navy
ship's lamp, a flashlight, or it is pecked out with a hammer or
stick!! ... --- ...! It DID save someone's life and a sinking
boat...well, maybe not the boat!


Yeah! I remember. Wasn't that on the original Posiedon Adventure
movie?


No, it was to save a sailor so he could buy an evening with your
mom.

Oh my! You really outdid yourself with that one! And my Mom? Wow, she's
79.


He was desperate and all the clean hookers were taken.

How's your code practice coming or did you give up on trying to learn
