Speakeasy To Remember But Difficult To Guess

Inspired by a password recovery exercise that was as arduous (and ridiculous) as the one depicted in this skit. The password, “I’m here for grandma’s funeral,” was inspired by Billy Wilder’s film “Some like it Hot” (1959).

First Man: “HUMAN???!!! Holy Hoobert Heever, this is ridiculous…” - In 1931, during a live tribute on President Herbert Hoover's birthday (in which Herbert Hoover was not present), Harry von Zell made a memorable verbal gaffe when he referred to Herbert Hoover as "Hoobert Heever." Mr. von Zell’s blooper came at the end of a lengthy narration of Hoover's career. In his defense, von Zell had pronounced the President's name correctly every other time.
