When I was young, I remember a (joke) program from a book or magazine, called something like report writer or something. It was written in basic and you typed it in.

You would run it and it would say:

how many pages? _

You would type in a number, and it would generate that many pages of a complex-sounding report.

something like "the subsystem design interface is ..." blah blah

similar?
