My favourite error message:
"Bad user. Replace and strike any key."
(From a dos program with a list of entries, navigated with up and down
arrow keys, selection with enter key - you got the error message if you
pressed left or right key)

I'm coding a program that checks BMC foundation data and I enforced a
unicity on « first name + middle name + last name » and a customer
told that « BMC Doesn't do that », here was my reply:
Yeah but it's so dirty to have that... And then later customers
complain people of service desk have a lot of problems identifying
people...
The check is done with middle name, so the point would be to have
"John Henry Smith ».
If there are two John Smith with the same middle name, I would
consider suing my dad for cheating on my mom and having a queer sense
of humour :)
No answer yet...

This might be fun on a Friday!
The best\non-useful error message I have ever seen was on an old Data
General RDOS Mini-Computer (remember those?)
A "system level" violation came back and said:
>Error: You Can't Do That
BMC Remedy is full of these and they need to at least point you to an
object or a line in the object. But, it's cheaper to just say, "You
can't do that." (Unrecognized server information)

I just got the following errors with the 8.1 API against an 8.1
server (VERSION = 8.1.00 201301251157)
ARGetServerInfo ==> 2, 123, Unrecognized server information tag 358
ARGetServerInfo ==> 2, 123, Unrecognized server information tag 357
ARGetServerInfo ==> 2, 123, Unrecognized server information tag 356
ARGetServerInfo ==> 2, 123, Unrecognized server information tag 355
ARGetServerInfo ==> 2, 123, Unrecognized server information tag 354
These are the new ones for 8.1. The humour comes from the 7.6.04
Error Messages Guide:
123
*Unrecognized server information tag.*
Error
You specified a code for server information that was not
recognized. Verify that the #define
statements in the include file ar.h have a list of all valid codes
that can be specified.
Yup. Verified. The 8.1 ar.h does not have a list of valid codes J
