Umm. I quote Tom Lehrer:

	I hold your hand in mine, Love....

For those of you too young to remember the song, the critical stanza is:

	The day you died I cut it off,
	I really don't know why
	'Cause now whenever I kiss it
	I get bloodstains on my tie.


For a more serious reference, go have a look at a paper entitled "Rubber
Hose Cryptography" by Angelos Keromedes (I hay have the name misspelled,
but try http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~angelos)
