Charlie set me straight on POE. From Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove:
"...Once the planes cross into Soviet airspace, they are instructed to respond only to a secret three letter code, that apparently, only General Ripper knows!..."
"...May I tell you that I have a very, very good idea, I think, I hope, I pray, what the recall code is. It's some sort of recurrent theme he kept repeating. It's a variation on Peace on Earth or Purity of Essence. EOP. OPE. It's one of those..."
