    DEC's OS/8 had three ways to invoke TECO - they were TECO, MAKE and
    MUNG.  If that in itself was not funny, if you ever typed:
    	MAKE LOVE
    You would get the response:
    	Not war?
    and TECO would then fire up as usual.
    
    Alas - I can find nothing funny about VMS.  DEC goes corporate.
    
Actually, this still works under VMS.

For more humor in VMS, though, you have to dig a little deeper.
F'rinstance, with V4.0 there are now two new internal structs for some
of the security code called KGB and CIA.
