"As I sat at my 3278 green screen terminal watching the logs for problems, I sipped my bottle of Grolsch, one of a few in my suspiciously large briefcase."
"One thing ran overnight with the wrong files, so I gave it the right files from the right year and the right century."
"For once in my entire life I had the right answer. I replied: 'Well, why the hell not? I've been drinking all day!'"
"I noticed the transaction identifier mixed the usual collection of seemingly random numbers and the string 'Grolsch.' Coincidence? I guess so."
A contractor named Marcus worked for a large company in the Netherlands to prepare for Y2K. He monitored systems on New Year's Eve while enjoying beers. Y2K passed without major issues, although he had to correct a typo and provide the correct files for a process. After finishing his last beer, a project manager accused him of being drunk. Marcus humorously responded and later noticed a transaction identifier in his bank account that included the word 'Grolsch'.
