Twenty years ago I contributed a chapter to a book on SQL Server and slipped in a subtle fart joke. Instead of using the then Microsoft standard sample company called “Northwind”, my example had “Southwind”.

EDITED to add link to Google Books link.

Totally random, but apparently a rough translation of the name of the tribe that the state Kansas was named after is "People of the South Wind". I first learned about this from the song by the band Kansas of this name[1].
