Of course our discussion was overheard and I was summoned by my new boss to present myself to the board of directors, for my plan of throwing users into a jail. I wonder if I can hold my face straight when they question me :-) -- mph

I have one big advantage over you: after fifteen years of marriage, my wife and I are still arguing over who is the boss.

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 ;-) Bill
