Ralph, Would you please explain the term "batman?"

How kind of you to ask. It is a WWII-era term for somebody who is
basically an aide of one sort or another. At least that's what I think;
I'm not sure whether it predates or is based on the comic strip character.
Now we'll find out whether once again, I'm full of shit. Bat shit in
this case, I guess.
