When the agents of the agency were on-the-wire they knew they were being listenèd to.  All the more reason to manufacture dirty words.  The dirty word draws a dirty word over the dirty word's dirty word.  This is how the agents were trained to talk when on-the-wire.  

Deceivers all I speak unto thee.  Jabberwocky: hoo-goo, hoh-goh, hah-gah.  There were strict rules for conversation.  Our conversations were being directèd and monitorèd by The Agency of the Letter.  As our propaganda bureau, the words were recordèd and the tapes were doctorèd.  These phoney situations had a phoney context.  Telephone context contraband tête-à-tête.  

“It's when they're not broadcasting we should be listening,” said Sarai.  

“What would happen if we killed the wire and stayed in range?” pondered *****.  

“It depends,” said Sarai.  

“It depends on what?” replièd *****.  

“It depends whether the range can reach the signal,” Sarai said.  

“What's the jurisdiction of the signal?” said *****.  

“It's all measurements,” said Sarai.  

“Do them now,” instructèd *****.  

“I'm on it,” said Sarai.
