OMG  punch cards... When  I  was  at  univ  I  worked  in the  computer  center and my  job was  to  run cards  through the  reader lol  and  wrap them in the  printout  to  give  back to  people. We  had a professoor  that was  doing  reasearch and  had 12 boxes  of  cards for  the  run. It was  11:30 pm  and  I  was  on the  8th  box  of  cards. I  flipped  up the 9thbox  and cards went  flying everywhere. I  had told  the  prof   to get them  sequenced but  so  he hadn't as far  as  I  knew. Then  one  of  the  guys helped me  pick up about1/3 of a box  of  cards  off  the  floor. Turns out he  had  gotten them senquenced that aftenoon. lol  We ran them through the sorter  and never told the  prof.
