Dah-didda-dit-dit didda-dah-dah-dit The wire service sings.
A serious, respected, Walter Cronkite type announcer reads from the tape:
"This just in. Tom and Kathy McGuire are confirmed, card carrying members of the SITCOM Organization. (Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.) This association, by default, automatically qualifies them for membership in the SKI Club. (Spending our Kids Inheritence.)
When one of Tom's children recently asked about their Will, Tom was heard to remark. "You've got your 'W' where youre 'B' should be." We'll be leavin a 'Bill' not a 'Will'. "

Short but with some nice touches. Liked the acronyms too.

Written by woody44 (768 comments posted) 4th March 2008 | I too liked the acronyms. I think it must be quite satisfying trying to match the letters to something which makes sense! As a Radio Ham of almost forty years I have to say you haven`t quite got the morse code right, but that apart a nice little read.

The lead in really wasn't supose to say anything. Just noise.
5 yrs US Navy radio operator. Although 40 years ago, it never leaves you.
I didn't make the qcronyms up. I've heard these recently. Not all together but over the last month or six weeks I've heard each of these and thought. Let's string them all together and see what we can get.
Thanks again. tom

Double Income Caucasian Kid-free, etc.... Short and sweet this one, some nice bits - I too will join the list for more information on SKI. | SKI Info
