funny things written inside your effects pedals

my guitarist was rehousing an old DOD delay and inside htere were a few inspection stickers with dates and the names of the people who inspected the pedal. his had a sticker that had the name "Tarryn Butz" printed on it. got a good laugh out of me and I figured you guys might have found some funny stuff in your pedals.
whats in your pedals? Post pictures!

(I will post a picture when I get to the practice space tomorrow.)

You probably don't want to know how Tarryn Butz tested the pedals

Jack Deville of Mr. Black writes notes in each of his pedals.
I think Sonny of Sanford & Sonny does as well.
Bjorn of bjfe draws pics in his BBBOD's.

Sonny is the king of the personalized sticker/pedal message!

The B:Assmasters had hillbilly teeth and the Original Echo 300/600 Dark/Lights had roaches.

A local builder, Caroline Guitar Co. (Columbia, SC) writes in permanent marker on the inside of the housing of their pedals. The most recent one I've seen was a short synopsis of "Being John Malkovich", stipulating in so many words that the movie "works" because it's essentially a classic love story but with heavy sci-fi twists. I may be getting it wrong, but their pedals sound great and there's all these random thoughts from the builder inside.

Blackout Effectors paint stuff on the inside of their lids. Devi ever occasionally puts things like garbage pail kids cards inside her pedals.

You should look at your vinyl records. There are goodies written on a lot of them.
