55 words

I had been tagged a long time back by melchizedek. Personally i hate it! Specially this 55 word tag. I'm BAD at making up stories!! But this time i think it was worth the wait. The following anecdote is from a professor in my department. It's a gem. I tried hard to keep it as interesting as it is, probably messed up bigtime. Given the 55 word limit and my non-existent talent it couldn't have gone otherwise. So here goes...

This is when computers were new. IIT Kanpur had one which was used by the professors only. A student wanting to use the computer wrote a program to store the passwords of all the people who would log onto the computer. Very interestingly a particular professor's password turned out to be another professor’s wife's name!
