Just assume that most people you encounter are clueless, unless proven otherwise!

geeks have humor too!

Sometimes I add humor to my code just for kicks, but I really like it when I run into comical code while looking through other people's stuff. Maybe it's an easter egg or just a funny comment. Either way, I enjoy it as much as any other geek should! Here is a code snippet that was once part of the Linux Kernel.

static void happy_meal_tcvr_write(struct happy_meal *hp,
                                  unsigned long tregs, int reg,
                                  unsigned short value)
{
        int tries = TCVR_WRITE_TRIES;

        ASD(("happy_meal_tcvr_write: reg=0x%02x value=%04xn", reg,
value));

        /* Welcome to Sun Microsystems, can I take your order please? */
        if (!hp->happy_flags & HFLAG_FENABLE)
                return happy_meal_bb_write(hp, tregs, reg, value);

        /* Would you like fries with that? */
        hme_write32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME,
                    (FRAME_WRITE | (hp->paddr

I found this in a very old post, but funny none the less. The original post and other funny code snippets in the kernel can be found at Kernel Trap.
