After numerous rounds of “We don’t know if Osama is still alive”, Osama himself decided to send Ted Kennedy a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Kennedy opened the letter which appeared to contain a single line of coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
Kennedy was baffled, so he e-mailed it to John Kerry. Kerry and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA.
With no clue as to its meaning, the FBI finally asked Marine Corps Intelligence for help. Within a few seconds the Marines cabled back with this reply: “Tell Kennedy he’s holding the message upside down.”
Thanks Marina
Different names, but same punch line that has been going around for decades.
