        Superb! "Send reinforcements we are going to advance". Message as taken by soldier: "Send three and fourpence we are going to a dance". Love Doug

        Punctuation can make a difference too. "Not getting any better. Come home" wife sent telegram Soldier received it as "Not getting any. Better come home". Love Doug
