I'll admit I had to ask for a repeat, but it was because my mind is programmed for 3 to 5 characters. After the 'jesus' I expected 'saves' or something as I don't understand french :-) Think I got it right the second time, though after my mind was re-programmed. 73

Most fun, were the hot-hots sending at 40 wpm (which is about as fast as 99% can copy), 
who are supposed to be able to COPY EXACTLY WHAT WAS SENT for the name, and who couldn't 
handle the 13 characters at their own speed, who'd come back with "??"
so I'd drop the speed by 9 wpm and resend, and they'd still not get it, so I 
sent a stored message at only 18 wpm with a full space between each letter, and 
a dozen hot-shots still needed a third or fourth repeat.
