    Here is something funny I found on the Internet somewhere. I thought that
    you would like to have a copy of it to print out and post in your shack's.

    TO ALL VISITORS

    WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS IS AN AMATEUR RADIO STATION
    LICENSED AS ________________ BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
    COMMISSION IN WASHINGTON, DC. BEFORE YOU ASK THE QUESTIONS, HERE ARE
    THE ANSWERS:

    1) The total cost of this equipment cannot be discussed here as
    it creates marital conflicts.

    2) No, we cannot send a message to your brother in Hong Kong. We
    would have suggested that you call Western Union; but alas, they do
    not do telegrams anymore.

    3) This is strictly a hobby; we do not have the facilities or the
    time to fool around with TV sets, radios or hi-fi. We suggest that you
    see a serviceman.

    4) Yes, the antenna in the backyard is essential to the operation
    of the equipment.

    5) The farthest station we have contacted has been in the
    Ubangiland.

    6) The cards on the wall are called QSL cards. They are
    confirmation of contacts made with other stations.

    7) It is technically impossible for this station's equipment to
    interfere with television reception, telephones, computers, or stereo
    systems. Any interference problems of that nature are caused by design
    flaws in the home-entertainment devices themselves.

    8) An Amateur Radio station may only be operated by a highly qualified, technically skilled electronics expert. It takes dedication, training and intelligence to reach the level of competence that justifies one to be
    licensed by the United States Federal Government. Therefore, it is not considered inappropriate to show proper awe, respect and general
    obsequiousness when I discuss my hobby or operate the controls.

    FURTHERMORE...

    IF YOU ARE GRANTED THE EXTREME HONOR OF BEING INVITED TO SPEAK INTO
    THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES:

    1) Speak in a low and soothing tone.
    2) Do not disagree with me in any manner.
    3) Say no bad words and tell no off-color jokes.
    4) It is customary for guests to make complimentary remarks about this
    station and its licensed operator when talking to other hams on
    the air.

    DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, TURN ANY KNOBS, SIT ON EQUIPMENT, ETC. I HAVE
    LOST SEVERAL VISITORS BY ELECTROCUTION IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
