'bout 15 years ago, I put a password on my home computer. It was "Idono" ... Broken down the meaning could be, "I do Know" or it could be "I don'o." It doesn't spell any real word though. Said out loud, it always sounds like a poorly enunciated, "I don't know." So I waited for the first kid_o_mine to ask for permission to use the computer. Great set up as the first request came early Saturday morning when the oldest wanted to get an early start on homework and I wasn't going to get out of bed to help. "What's the pass word to your computer Dad?" "Idono" "Come on Dad you Know. What's the pass word." "Idono" "You do too Dad. Just tell me the pass word." "Idono!" Tears start flowing... "Please Dad, why wont you tell me the pass word. You know it, so just tell me." I spelled it, "I_d_o_n_o" "That's not funny Dad." [stomping off in a huff] That kid never got my sense of humor but she made a good engineer when she grew up.
