A family friend was on the board of governors for a university in the
60's.  There was a tour of a new computer room (IBM1620) for the board
at the end of a meeting.

Being the only women on the board she was put front and center for
running of the never fail tour deck that failed. A error message had
been edited in a compiler to "F... off don't f... up" She was at our

was a harmless prank. A couple days later she had to calm down the
university president from his over reaction.
