The free dictionary says, "ATW A Touch of Wood (various locations)".
Somehow, I'm reminded of the guy who spent his 2 year tour in Germany wandering about with a used paint brush and an empty paint can. No one bothered him because they assumed that someone had sent him to paint something. Because he had both hands full, he didn't even have to salute the officers. There was one crusty old CWO who had him figured out. On his last day when he was packing to get on the truck to the railroad station, Mister Johnson walked up and said, *You might have fooled all those 90 day wonders, but I was onto you from the first. Were you man enough to pass on your can and brush to someone else or did you just toss them?"
