I've told this story before, about working in a software company back in
the '90s. Our QA lab manager needed to be pranked, so we took his
install disks and our sound guy inserted stutters into the test files.

The lab manager would get everything configured, run setup, get
everything configured, then play the tests, and they'd come out

"perperperperforming irq-q-q-q-q-q testtttttt"

(mind you, this was long before plug and play...)

We heard the obscenity volume increase, until finally one of the guilty
party offered to try with "his" install disk. It worked perfectly.  :)
