Ha ha - I was trying to be nice. About a year ago I happened to see a
co-worker's password for something, and there was a 3 character month in it.

Interesting! I expected the regular requirements we see today (special
characters, numerics, etc.) but instead it jokes about some of the tricks
people used in those days, like changing nothing but a month name. I think
that was pretty common.
