funniest was when my co-operator did not properly load a tape. Spun the damn thing off of the deck. Was laughing like hell as it rolled out the door and down the hall.

Ever drop one of those decks and screw up the jcl sequences. I did, not fun. thankfully they were numbered and I was able to reassemble it using an old mechanical sorter. Any body remember those ? Wrote and used a .bat file the other day to clean up a bunch of MSIlog files 20K worth (thank you microsoft).
