Where I live they call them hoagies.When I Survey.... -
There was a great story about a WWII effort by the Allies to "tap" the underwater cable that the Germans were using to communicate with some of their outlying posts. Long story short, a recon team had estimated where the cables would have had to leave land, and decided to try to locate that transition point. When they went along the beach, there was a sign warning "Do not anchor or trawl here - you may damage underwater cables".
They were, indeed, the "secret" cables.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment
