One joke that got a lot of laughs here was to change a users PS1
prompt while they were logged in by adb'ing their shell process.
This is a good way to learn about the UNIX(tm) operating system!
I used this ksh alias once on someone, took a month for them to
figure out what was going on:
alias ls='echo "sh: ls: not found" ; unalias ls'
On a UNIX PDP 11/70 system I mounted a floppy disk on a users home
directory, boy they got very anxious very fast!
