LOL!

Somewhere I have (or *had*) base-six Forth code 'bark', and 'beer' that drove a 
'Talking Clock' chip over 6 lines of a parallel port to make a computer 
literally 'bark like a dog', or ask 'Please bring the computer operator an ice 
cold beer'. Those got laughs. Sometimes even beer.

Adding an audio amp chip to a recycled bass-reflex speaker that loudly shouted 
'DUMB ASS!' on any stack-underflow error, OTOH, proved a mite embarrassing....
