Q: How many cryptographers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: XIGHCBS
-------------------
There was a story in the NY Times many years ago about an apartment
dweller who was frequently burgled. Every time that happened she had
a new lock added to her front door. While installing her eighth lock,
the locksmith suggested she only lock half of the locks. Her place
was never robbed again, but sometime she came home to find the locks
she had locked open and the ones she hadn't locked were locked.
