They were still laughing about it.

My first manager (when I became a SW Engineer) had worked for ITT developing software for phone switches. He told of naming a data structure armpit in frustration only to have the names of all data structures frozen. He then had to come up with an acronym to explain... and thus the Alarm Resource Monitoring Process Information Table was born.

Reminds me of the time when we arranged for the Wienermobile to show up for the C-17 Program Director’s Birthday. There’s a picture somewhere of him as a Colonel IIRC in the Cockpit. Didn’t affect his career as he eventually retired as a 3 Star Lieutenant General.

Turn back towards the airport while pulling back on the yoke.
