When in HS went to the State Fair. One of the exhibits was a computer company. They had a couple of computer typewriter terminals set up so that whatever was typed on either terminal showed on both terminal. This was back in the computer terminals were teletype type writers, no monitors. These terminals were at either end of the companies booth.

I started typing "Hello" after every time the other person typed. When they finally answered, I typed very generic questions about thei name, where they were from, and the fair. I included information from their previous answers to make it look like a programmed question. If they typed something that was not an answer or curse words I would type "I'm sorry, I don't understand, please try again." If they continued typing garbage I started over with "Hello." They were getting quite a crowd around them watching. They thought they were typing a conversation with a computer program. Seemed pretty futuristic back in 1976. Me and the group watching my computer's output could see I was asking the questions and thought it was pretty funny duping the other terminal user. Kinda the opposite of the Turning Test.
