Someone I know has had some problems with theft and their bank and is rather unimpressed about it. When, after much dithering and buck-passing ("It's Paypal's problem"..."It's your bank's problem") it finally got to the stage of setting up new details with their bank, they were asked for a memorable word or phrase for security reasons. There were problems with the phrase they wanted:
First choice: "[Bank's name witheld, just in case] usual level of incompetence."
Problem: The phrase was too long for the box that the bank's employee had to type it in. There wasn't any room for "incompetence". That was amusing in itself.
Second choice: "Incompetence".
Problem: The employee couldn't spell "incompetence".
At that point, they (the person I know) exclaimed "Jesus Christ!" and the bank employee told them that wasn't allowed as a memorable phrase.
Maybe it's me being tired, but I found it funny.
