A friend (who shall remain nameless) reported this prank:

His supervisor, Judy, was a complete zero.  At one point Judy got a wild
hair and absolutely *insisted* that her host be placed on usenet.  Need
I say Judy was utterly incompetant to do this herself?  Anyway, the
person who took care of it noticed Judy hadn't set a host name (surely
a neccesary item) and took care of that, too.  Then they very very
carefully explained to Judy that her email address was (I quote)

   "foo exclaimation point bar exclaimation point gang exclaimation
    point judy"

He didn't know if anyone ever told her "exclaimation point" is
often pronounced "bang".
