xyzzy

[lindaj]

This morning as T and I were parking at the ABQ airport, we found ourselves near a car with the license plate "XYZZY". The driver was just getting out of the car, so I decided to comment to her about it.

"I like your license plate."
"You know what it means?"
"Well, yeah."
"Gee...you don't look that old."

...and then we exchanged a few more niceties and continued on our way.

I played this silly game 22 years ago when I would wait for my former spouse to finish working. It was on the mainframe at the University where he worked.

Now I'm doomed to discover that it's available on-line. OH NO!!!!!

Wikipedia Entry is even more useful. (I thought)

ah yes, even cleverer than google.
(though i was amused by the existence of a license plate at the top of the xyzzy.com page :)

You are in a cave of twisty passages, all different.

"Gee...you don't look that old."

Funny! I wonder how old she looked.
