Inserting '&string' in SQL*Plus

Hello, all,

    I have an interesting one on Monday... (I know, I know, we shouldn't do anything of brain twisting today...)

    While using SQL*Plus to INSERT a string with the special character '&' like '&something' to a table, without using SET ESCAPE command, how can we do it? Since the '&' is a reserved character for variable...

    Thanks!
