Yeah, and those plugs were officially called "butt plugs", which nowadays have an entirely different meaning. <g> Lew And on another topic altogether in my telecom days we used a handset that plugged into the equipment so we could monitor or make calls and this was always called a 'Butt' although no-one knew why. Many years later someone was given a very old version of one of these by someone who didn't really know what it was, it was boxed, and the label on the box said 'Buttinsky Handset'. |
