In the early '90s I worked in a small government office where personal computers were "the new thing." Our boss, a bookish scientist who was pretty close to total computer illiteracy, could only boot his computer, do word processing and print, and turn it off. He had to come to one of us to do anything else. He was also a prolific writer and paranoid about losing his work, so everything was backed up on floppy discs, which he did know how to insert and eject.
While he was out of town a colleague and I obtained a disc with funny sounds on it, and loaded them into Frank's computer. Most of what we set up was benign--the Looney Tunes song for booting, air raid siren for error messages, stuff like that. For the "eject disc" function we used a pretty realistic sound effect of someone barfing. It was a loud, pronounced "Bleaagh!" followed by a couple of gagging coughs. Of course we set the volume up as loud as it would go.
The next day when he returned we enjoyed hearing the Looney Tunes song--and he chuckled and said "Where did that come from? It's cute." Since we all kept our office doors open and could hear everything, it was quite enjoyable. But when he ejected his first disc and the sound of regurgitation reverberated down the hall, we all lost it. He came to the doorway and stared down the hall with the most priceless look on his face. When we all stopped laughing my co-conspirator and I offered to show him how to turn it off. He wanted to keep the Looney Tunes, though.
