There are two stories I've heard that supposedly occurred at Murray Hill, but he didn't include them. I've read past the badge section and the "grepping for my keys" comment, so I believe I've come past the right point. Without telling the actual stories here, one involves a monkey picture pasted onto a Bell Labs badge, the other is about an MTS who was late to a meeting because she was grepping her apartment for her keys. I've told these stories often, and they get a good laugh. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of these stories, who told them, whether they are true, etc?
