I will now give you the Honor System Virus:
"Your computer has been infected with the Honor System Virus. Please send this message to all the contacts in your e-mail address folder and then format your hard drive. Thank you for your cooperation."
This flew around several years ago and was good for maybe half a chuckle before being deleted. I sent it to a few people without really thinking about it. Not 60 seconds later, my aunt calls me on the phone. She works at a major midwestern university and she is in an absolute panic that I just sent her a virus that might take down the whole university.
O.o
I do love my aunt, but she is SUCH a spaz. I'm not particularly tech savvy (OK, I can tell the difference between a PC and a bale of hay) but I figured just about everybody would get the joke. Oops.
