Let me explain 10 important things about telephones to you...
which comes from 34 years, before retiring, in the telephone
long distance business.

  1) Do *not* *ever* say *anything* on a telephone that you cannot
     live with seeing on the front page of tomorrows local newspaper.

(Items 2 through 9 have precisely the same words as item 1.)

  10) There is no such thing as a secure telephone connection,
      unless *you* provide the encryption at both ends.
