What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered? - Stack Overflow

A simple question: "What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?"

Some of the language is a bit excessive (come on though, if you're working on a program and the damn thing foils you at every turn for three days, you're going to get a bit annoyed, right?), but otherwise it's a good laugh, and it just goes to show that programmers have a dark sense of humour!

Some of the code monkeys here should appreciate a number of the comments. There are even some new ones for the younger generation! For example:

// you just lost the game

Amongst my favourites are classics that everyone uses such as:

// I don't know why, but it works. LEAVE IT

... the famous last words:

try {
. . .
} finally { // should never happen
. . .
}

... and the plain evil:

// no comments for you
// the code was hard to write
// so it should be hard to read

Enjoy!

I'm not into coding, because I lack patience for it, but omg those are funny.
