We've got Popeye the Sailor Man working here at Fluke! He empties the trash cans at night, and seems to be on the janitorial staff. Didn't recognize him until one of the hardware engineers kidded him a bit too hard; all of a sudden, he gulps down a can of spinach, this funny music starts playing, and, well, I didn't think I've ever seen a soldering iron used in quite that way...

We've got Popeye the Sailor Man working here at Fluke! When I was a FE for E-Systems, we had two other FE's named Joe Lewis and Ronald McDonald. A co-contractor (Univac) had an FE named Dick Tracy. It happened that the three of them came to the same overseas site on the same day. The site leader, who was known for his practical jokes, introduced the trio to the Air Force colonel who ran the site. Shaking his head and smiling, the colonel said as he left the room, "Glad to meet you, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!" Believe It... Or Not... -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
