That reminds me of a story.

I was on TV once, maybe 15 years ago, and they were asking me a lot of
very dumb questions about ATMs, and eventually I got fed up with them
because what the hell do I know about ATMs, I was an antivirus guy, and
they were assuming that if you know about one aspect of security, you must
know them all, and when the interviewer asked me "And are there any ways
that people can get money out of a cash machine without using their card?"
I said "Yes, there's a special test number, 314159, which if you key it
in, it delivers £20 even if you don't have a card." And then she went very
quiet. "We're live, that just went out" she said.

I managed to keep a straight face for several seconds before I cracked 
up.
