Amusing.... although, assuming your coworkers are using bash, this could be made more realistic by doing something like the following: 
my $prompt = $ENV{PS1};
$prompt =~ s|\\u|$ENV{USER}|g;
$prompt =~ s|\\h|$ENV{HOSTNAME}|g;

... and so on.

    I had to go a bit further: 
    my $prompt     = $ENV{PS1};
$ENV{HOSTNAME} =~ s/\..*//;
$prompt =~ s!\\u!$ENV{USER}!g;
$prompt =~ s!\\h!$ENV{HOSTNAME}!g;
$prompt =~ s!\\w!$ENV{PWD} eq $ENV{HOME} ? '~' : $ENV{PWD}!eg;
$prompt =~ s!\\\$!$> ? '$' : '#'!eg;
