Funniest one I’ve ever seen was a guy presenting to a mixed audience of co-workers and customers who got a pop up from Monster that he had just gotten ping on his resume. Quick glance at his boss told me that he was not amused. 
Love it! - It’s something I alway check for when doing a powerpoint … and sometimes I’m the git that will IM you when your on stage!
Well, I’m probably one of the first people this ever happened to. The year was 1983, and I had brought a VT100 (which had a monochrome video output) and a 300-baud modem to the campus auditorium to do an interactive “intro to UNIX commands” demo/tutorial. I’ve dialed into the “staff only” modem, using a special account I’ve set up for the purpose. One of my fellow admins notices the unfamiliar name on the restricted tty, and challenges me:
Message from pnl ….
Who are you and how did you get on this line?
$ write pnl
Hi, Perry, it’s John, and you’re on screen in front of 100 new CS students. Thanks for giving me the chance to demonstrate “write”.
Bug Bash is a comic strip written and illustrated by Hans Bjordahl. Bug Bash is a comic strip about technology: managing technology, the business of technology. It's about project management and managing projects through the dull world of Rational Rose, use cases, and requirements. Functional requirements, user requirement, functional specifications, design specifications, call it what you want but it's still the bane of project managers. And when you're done with that, you can think about all the fun that comes with timelines, scheduling, estimates (PERT estimation anyone?) and resourcing until Gantt charts are coming out of your ears. Let's not forget the risk management in the software engineering life cycle. Maintaining the project is just as much fun, managing what was initially set out in requirements and trying to keep feature creep / scope creep in check with change management. If any of these words send nightmares to you, the project manager, then this site probably rings true with you. (Who Links Here?)
