Reminds me of one...

My mate works in finance for Rugby borough council. In the early days of 'internet arsing about' he received an email with an attached .exe file featuring an icon of the 'Coca Cola' logo.

Not recognising the sender of the email, and after having just received a lecture on the evils of computer viruses, my mate called IT support for advice.

The IT team had obvoiusly also been on the same course, and consequently all fucking hell broke loose. His PC was ripped from the system, they shut down the whole network - fearing that the virus could have already spread throughout the whole council by now. Surely a meltdown was just minutes away! PANIC!!! Meetings were held and an operation was put in place to scan and clean every machine in the place.

Finally, after a clean bill of health for everyone else, and with the knowledge that the offending machine was completely detatched and could do no harm, they decided that the best course of action would be to try the program to see what would happen...

Tentatively, the Head of IT clicked the icon...

And the CD tray opened. On the screen was a message: 'You can put your coke can on this if you want'.

Pffft.
At a new company I'd just started working for, I received a "Sex quiz" which I did - something like "How dirty are you?". At the end it said "LOL - do you want to send this to all your mates? Yes/No" I clicked No and a box came up saying "Sending to ... contacts" and listed all the work email addresses. Terrifying. My colleagues pissed themselves.
