Came across a `ttt' command by  surprise.  First,  I  thought  of
Tic-tac-toe.  This  is  what the command provides in the original
Unix, already in the 1st Edition.  [0]

Today,  `ttt'  is  a  ``standalone  program  for  local  traffic-
monitoring''.

But there's more fun about  ``Tic-tac-toe'',  because  all  these
three words are valid Unix commands also!

In the end, this command line is not as much nonsense as it might
seem:

     tic;tac;toe || ttt


(Maybe I should have saved  this  idea  to  develop  it  into  an
April's fool prank or a nice email signature ...)
