Thanks!
Now can you explain the picture (and your OA)?

The picture is abtract.  I have a few years of art school under my
belt[0] so I will try to make something up that sounds good.  I
pictured a voice comming over the phone line:
            .
           /-\ 
          /---\
          \---/
           \-/ 
            .  
               
And the phone that the call was comming from:
  ---- 
  |  | 
  +--+ 

The "BANK" between them represents the walls of the bank and how easy
it is to get around those walls by going through the wires of the
phones. 

I hope this made up answer clears this up for you.

> (and your OA)?

I /wanted/ it to be a tin[1] foil hat as seen here:
<url:zapatopi.net/afdb.html> but I couldn't get it to look right so I
left it untitled.  I think that without a lot of setting the stage
type work that no ascii art of a tin foil hat will be regonizable as
such unless it is drawn on such a large scale as to make it unusable. 

[0] and here I am doing ascii art?
[1] Aluminum is the correct word but everyone knows it as a tin foil
hat for legacy reasons.

Since we're on the subject of language, aluminium is the correct word.

I believe "aluminium" was a typo at the British patent office, or
something of the sort... pretty sure the original spelling is
"aluminum". This is possibly the only example of North American English
being more correct than the Queen's ;-)

 And I am pretty sure you are in error, given the other element names

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Spelling:

Spelling

   The official IUPAC spelling of the element is aluminium; however,
   Americans and Canadians generally spell and pronounce it aluminum.

   In 1808, Humphry Davy originally proposed the name alumium whilst
   trying to electrolytically isolate the new metal from the mineral
   alumina. A couple of years later he changed the name to aluminum to
   match its Latin root, but was finally persuaded to restore the -ium
   ending in 1812 giving aluminium. This had the advantage of conforming
   to the -ium suffix precedent set by other newly discovered elements
of
   the period potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and strontium (all
   of which Davy had isolated himself). However, for the next thirty
   years, both the -um and -ium endings were used in the scientific
   literature.

   Curiously America adopted the -ium for most of the 19th century with
   aluminium appearing in Webster&#8217;s Dictionary of 1828. However
   Charles Martin Hall selected the -um spelling in an advertising
   handbill for his new efficient electrolytic method for the production
   of aluminium, four years after he had patented the process in 1888.
   Although this spelling may have been an accident, Hall's domination
of
   aluminium production ensured that the -um ending became the standard
   in North America, even though the Webster Unabridged Dictionary of
   1913 continued to use the -ium version. In 1926 the American Chemical
   Society decided officially to use aluminum in its publications.

   Meanwhile most of Europe had standardised on the -ium spelling. In
   1990 the IUPAC adopted aluminium as the standard international name
   for the element. Aluminium is also the name used in French, Dutch,
   German, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish; Italian uses alluminio,
   Portuguese alummnio and Spanish aluminio. (The use of these words in
   these other languages is one of the reasons IUPAC chose aluminium
over
   aluminum.) In 1993, IUPAC recognized aluminum as an acceptable
   variant, but still prefers the use of aluminium."
