per a yt comment

I spent almost three months in the Spring of 1969 training as an Army
radio telegrapher, but when I was sent to Vietnam I never used
telegraphy at all, although other skills I had learned were important
and useful. Nor have I ever done anything with it in civilian life.
The one exception is that I was watching the PBS detective series
Morse one evening, when I realized that the theme music had a rhythm
that was spelling out M-O-R-S-E, as a sort of musical play on words.
It was a very catchy little rhythmic phrase, but only a trained
telegrapher would ever notice the hidden meaning or get the joke.
