At 1 federal lab I used to work at we had an HP terminal that had 1 bad key
switch so I stole the coma from the keypad and moved it to where it was
needed. I then made a nice label for the bad coma key with NFG on it. The
person in charge of the section said he would send anyone that asked what
that meant to me. I was there for another 2 years and nobody asked either
of us.
