At OLS last year (I think during Erik Troan's talk on conary), whilst
taking questions, barcode kicked in. On a ~10ft projector, with the
word 'flatulence'.

Unfortunate and somewhat embarressing perhaps, but highly amusing.

The choice of words barcode uses do seem to be of this nature a lot
of the time, so I can sort of see the OPs point.
