    Rick: "I heard a rumor those two German couriers were carrying letter of transit."
    Ugarte: "Huh? Oh, huh, I heard that rumor too. Poor devils."

    Victor Laszlo: "I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It is perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came to this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I - I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit: all right, but I want my wife to be safe. I ask you as a favor, to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca."

    "One, two, one two three, HIT IT!!!!"

    — ending of Dr. John's performance in the movie The Last Waltz.

    Incidentally, it's very difficult to practice clapping and metronome stuff at your place without it sounding like a special private moment. Which I assure you, it is not.

    "f6 da d6 cd d8 d9 97 c4 c2 d4 dc c4 97 d6 97 d3 d8 d0 90 c4 97 d3 de d4 dc"

    — my XOR encryption written on a piece of company scrip to be paid tomorrow on a "double or nothing" bet (which I lost). I'm pretty sure it decodes to "Amazon sucks a dog's dick," but I don't remember the XOR "key" I chose, and since I did it by hand, I could have easily made a mistake.

    It could well "decode" to whatever you want, depending on how thick you want your distribution of consonants and vowels, I guess.

    I prefer to think I did it right, but that took me quite a while with pencil and paper.

    ETA Oh, that's just in hexadecimal divided up into bytes, and the target plaintext is 7-bit ASCII, padded with a "0" as the MSB (eeta, "most significant bit" is what that means. Like how in the number 1999, the most significant numeral is the "1," because, you know, reasons. never mind). eeeta, Oh, I see I used the key B716, or 1011 01112 but good luck to that dink trying to figure that out.

    Yeah, good luck.

    I knew there was a reason people invented computers!

    Oh, and putting it in hexadecimal is not being a dick: trust me, you don't want to look at hundreds of zeroes and ones for more than a few seconds, no matter how good at "reading" you are. It's a million times easier doing anything but that. Or, like a gazillion times easier. Whatever. Trust me, nobody wants to read the several binary representations of large or small numbers, let alone some puny seven-bit code, unless for the satisfaction of doing a quick check on what the mantissa or whatever is.

    So, "Amazon sucks a dog's dick."
