>>That 10-4 reminds me of when we were kids. Any game we played that had scoring (table tennis, football, baseball etc), if the score ever hit 10-4, it was known as a 'Broderick'. You probably know why.

>Er, that's a big negatory there AP. Was Broderick the guy who sang the song?
No, I figured maybe you'd know. There was an old TV show in the late '50s called "Highway Patrol" starring Broderick Crawford. He must have said '10-4' 20 times in every show. In fact, every mimic I've ever seen who does his voice uses the '10-4' phrase liberally.
