For a while, telephones used to speak a language called signaling system 5 which was made out of funky [[music]] called DTMF which does not stand for "down to maybe fuck". If you learned to speak it, you could ask the telephone network to do nice things for you like dial long distance calls for free and it would do them for you because you asked so nicely and were very polite. Legendary children's breakfast-cereal mascot Captain Crunch liked this idea so much he made a whistle that you could use to talk to telephone network trunk switches. The telephone company didn't like that very much so they made the telephone speak a different language called signaling system 7. | For a while, telephones used to speak a language called signaling system 5 which was made out of funky [[music]] called DTMF which does not stand for "down to [[True...|maybe]] [[fuck]]".
