I was helping someone set up his computer, and he needed to log in with a
password. Now you have to understand he's got somewhat of a rebellious
attitude and goes for the shock effect, so when the computer asked him to
enter his password, he keys in "penis".

I nearly fell off the chair from laughing so hard when the computer
replied:

*** PASSWORD REJECTED.  NOT LONG ENOUGH ***
*** PLEASE TRY A NEW ONE ***

FYI CrackLib agrees:

$ testpasswd
enter passwords to test, one per line, up to 128 characters long;
- end input with an EOF(^D) character...
penis
penis: is crackable: it is too short
