I never gave the number sent much thought. It was just a number to me. I
did happen to think a couple times that the station I worked might be a
school club when it sent something like "13".
The only time I did a double-take was late at night when I was starting to
feel lack of sleep someone sent me "00". I immediately thought "1900" for
some reason. Guess I still haven't gotten used to being in the 21st
century. :-)
