a long time ago, I saw "festoon" running on an old pdp-11 running V7.
No source, but loads of fun.  In an attempt to recreate it, I strings-ed
(strung?) the file and looked at the symbol table to try to get an
accurate picture of variable names and such and from there, tried my
best.  All I came up with is the following which is very simplistic
altho it looks somewhat impressive if you show it to your parents as
a description of what you do when you work (that's what I did).

Two files coming:  This one is words.h, the next is the C code.  Just compile
normally and watch it go.  For further laughs, pipe thru jive and/or valspeak.
Also, piping thru fmt might help output aesthetics.
