Dozens of references at www.google.com

Taken from a joke:):

Un couple de jeune marié part en voyage de noces.
La première semaine, les deux tourtereaux envoient une première carte
postale a leurs amis. Sur la carte, une seule inscription: "ADVSEA"
La deuxième semaine, les amis reçoivent une autre carte postale, avec une
fois encore la seule inscription "ADVSEA"...
