I always wondered what it meant. I’ve heard the Inspector Sands announcement quite a few times in the London Underground system, mostly at Liverpool St Station which was near my house.

Apparantly, in the old-time circus tents (like the one in "Dumbo"), if there was a fire, the band would begin playing "Stars and Stripes Forever". This was a way to tell people that there was a fire in the tent without causing a panic. I'm not sure if they still do this (probably not), but it's an interesting code nonetheless. :) I don’t know if this code was mentioned already (and I sure as hell ain’t going through all those comments!), But my dad told me about a really interesting one a while back.

I used to drive for a taxi company and we had a code "Car 13" and would use it if we felt we were in danger of being assualted. When CAR 13 is called the dispatcher will notify ALL drivers of the car's location and call the police. The other drivers usually reach the location first. I have responded to a few of them and I have called it once when my passenger pulled a knife on me. “CAR 13″.
