Seen on Alt.best.of.internet. Would love to find out if this is true!

This falls into the "Why did it have to happen on *MY* shift?" category.
A friend of mine is a chief engineer at SuperMac, and he related this story to me.
Some poor SuperMac TechSport got a call from some middle level official... from the legitimate government of Trinidad. The fellow spoke very good English, and fairly calmly described the problem.
It seemed there was a coup attempt in progress at that moment. However, the national armoury for that city was kept in the same building as the Legislature, and it seems that there was a combination lock on the door to the armoury. Of the people in the capitol city that day, only the Chief of the Capitol Guard and the Chief Armourer knew the combination to the lock, and they had already been killed.
It's not. This was hashed over in alt.folklore.computers a little while back, and someone did some research and found out that there haven't been any coup attempts in the past few years in Trinidad, or something like that. - -- Ben Byer root@bushing.plastic.crosslink.net I am not a bushing GCS d-- s: a--- C++ UL++++ P++ L++ E+ W+ N++ o K-- w-- !O M-- !V !PS !PE Y+(++) PGP t+ 5 !X R tv(+) DI+ G e- h! r !y -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.4, an Emacs/PGP interface iQB1AwUBMPFn4LD5/Q37XXHFAQFTHgL+O4EzDxZVHSOmb2SZ3vbJi64tZyZfvuUk Stgr4qUJ8xfXahNxgDR3WgbTcvWt8s1nFc0FdWCuQzOnaX8Tz4f8C1R83bS1fUDb lH8jgEFdsCJ1GGy0yL1lB7JvcFlRYFpM =zeah -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
