caveats

we were discussing this on Tues. One of the agents we deal with has a standard caveat that amuses me.  At the bottom of every email indicating expectations of ship movement is the string of letters:

BSSAGWWOGWPUCE

This apparently stands for:
BaSiS All Goes Well, WithOut Guarantee, Weather Permitting, Unforseen Circumstances Excepted.

Wow, I use a lot of qualifying statements in my profession but this takes the cake. Anyone got a better?

I rather like the fact that the last four letters spell "puce".
