You ought to see all the sarcastic error messages that Gavin Scott's
Phantasm editor for Basic/V comes up with. Such as:

Huh?? I must have been dozing. Could you repeat that?

Uh oh! Your productivity is dropping fast!

Does your mother know what you do for a living?

Do you live in a yellow subroutine?

I/O, I/O, It's off to disk we go!

    and my personal favorite (Line 1 and 2 separated by 2 seconds):

SESSION ABORTED BY SYSTEM MANAGEMENT.
(just kidding)
