** It's a [[Running Gag]] that nobody knows what to call the "flappy doodad" that exists on a mailbox and has some trouble coming up with a description that someone else can understand. (The technical term seems to be 'signal flag', by the way, but somehow that's not very satisfying)
* ''[[The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage]]'' mixes this with [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]], as [[Badass|Isambard Kingdom Brunel]] tries to convince Lovelace to go back to Babbage.
