A guy named Guy, who used to be my supervisor in a previous job, co-owned a 
plane with 2 other guys ( not named Guy ) to split the expenses.  It seemed to 
work well for them.

For Y2K, I timed an email to go to his pager at midnight that read something to 
the effect of: All okay!  No apparent bugs in the system!  Except I typed it 
backwards: "!metsys eht ni sgub tnerappa oN  !yako llA"  After the initial 
shock, he got quite a kick out of it.  :)
