When I was a youth, I was ordained once at a hot tub party by a guy who just pulled out a card, typed it up, and laminated it. Of course, I never tried to pass myself off as a real minister, but it is fun to pull the card out once in a while just to mess with people :)

A number of years ago, there was a highly entertaining enterprise called the "Millard Fillmore Institute" that granted bogus "honoris causa" degrees of the joking variety -

My dad got one for his law partner: "Doctor of Fiscal Irresponsibility".

They also sponsored an annual essay contest, and some other fun events. I think the FTC eventually shut them down. No sense of humor.
