Recently while browsing, I encountered a question at
stakoverflow which asks for “What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?".
It has a long list of funny list. I am just copying few of my favorite.
Exception
up = new Exception("Something is really wrong.");
throw
up; //ha ha

Autogenerated, do not edit. All changes will be undone.

//
sometimes I believe compiler ignores all my comments
|
// I
dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife, Darlene, who will
//
have to support me and our three children and the dog once it gets
//
released into the public.

//

//

|
#define
TRUE FALSE //Happy debugging suckers
|
// I'm
sorry.
|
return
1; # returns 1
|
/*
This is O(scary), but seems quick enough in practice. */
|
Catch
(Exception e) {
//who cares?
}
|
/**
* Always returns true.
*/
public
boolean isAvailable() {
return false;
}
|
/*
* You may think you know what the following
code does.
* But you dont. Trust me.
* Fiddle with it, and youll spend many a
sleepless

be clever
* enough to "optimize" the code
below.
* Now close this file and go play with
something else.
