The TECO text editor (popular on DEC machines years ago) could be invoked
via several different names depending on if you wanted to edit, create, 
examine, or execute the file. If you told it to create the file "love" the
command was "make love" and TECO would respond, "not war?"

This was a standard joke on every TECO implementation I ever saw (one of 
them was broken and wouldn't actually create the file!).
