It's interesting how messages gets their own life.
I was building a user-impersonation system, and it allowed a power-admin to login as another user to change their settings and to help them.
When you signed in as the user it said:
> You are now signed in as User\##{user_id}, behave nicely ;-)
and when you switched back to your admin it said:
> You are now signed back in as Admin\##{admin_id}, wreak havoc! ;-)
I met with a former colleague years later, and he still referred to the wreak havoc message that I didn't think about for more than 10 seconds, but I had installed that in his brain and it lived there as a memory of that company and that system.
