  My favorite tape was the 13 wpm one with "The launching of the
  four stage rocket..."  I still use that phrase in situations
  such as "That really set me off like a four stage rocket...."

  The 20 wpm had one with "...the foreman and his crew..."  The
  code groups had a bunch of interesting combos, and it took me
  a while to realize that there were several pairs, one reading
  forwards (FILSN) and one reading backwards (NSLIF), scattered
  through the chart.

  See what we have lost with Volunteer Examiners??   :-)
