Alas 50 years later, I can only come up with SOS and a few selected
curse words.

My grandpa was an armature ham and thought me morse. Like you Greg I've forgotten most of it.but it sure was fun sitting in the high school library during study hall conversing with a junior ham at the end of the table. Requiring absolut vocal silence in the library, We'd lightly tap morse code with pencils on the table and yak away, and never looked up from our books. Killed a lot of time doing that.

When I was in Bainbridge the RM school was there and we had guys
tapping out messages everywhere.
There was also a lot of semaphore going on.
