A list of puns related to "Communication System"
In the late '60s the government was developing ARPANET and the developers were trying to find a way for users on the system to communicate with each other.
The scientists involved came up with an electronic messaging system that they called the Tickle.
Tickles could be used to send important code updates, meeting invitations, or even just little jokes all along the network.
The DOD heard about these Tickles and asked for a briefing to determine their military potential. At a high-level meeting of generals and admirals, the lead developer presented the Tickle concept.
The ranking General asked for a demonstration and the lead scientist said "Sure, I'll send you a test Tickle."
And that's how E-mail was born.
Daughter: Dad, did you know that the Inca didn't have a writing system? Instead, they used a system of knotted strings to communicate?
Me: So the Inca could (k)not read?
D: I said they could read!
Me: No, you said that they could knot read! Make up your mind!
