Speaking of programming jokes, have any of y’all ever heard the expression ‘he did a BAL to the brain and got an 806’?

To explain: BAL is the assembler cmd for branch-and-link and an 806 error is ‘program not found’ yuk yuk

What fraction of internet billionaires are younger than that error code?

Although, I see it's still in use.
