According to Jim Mayer, who worked at the crucial time at Bell Labs, the abbreviation "CP" really stands for "concentrated piss" and not for "chemical polish" as is generally believed. | ||
While Jim is a colorful person, not above pulling a few legs here and there, it may well be true! | ||
The stuff does look like CP, smells bad, and is something you don't want to touch. | ||
However, while real P is asolutely harmless (some people drink it for health reason), CP is absolutely deadly if you drink it, and not much fun if you get it on your skin either. | ||
