biff name
>From ARPAVAX.hickman@Berkeley Wed Nov 11 16:21:57 1981
The real reason biff is called biff, is....Drum roll:

There is a grad student named Heidi
Who has a dog
The dog is around a lot
And so it seemed quite tidy
To name a barking program
after a dog which did not
.....the dogs name is biff....
