   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   
   house for diner that evening and described the "incident" for what it   
   was a harmless prank. A couple days later she had to calm down the   
   university president from his over reaction.
