make someone laugh

[Nomaken]

I've done that a few times before, but usually I catch it and edit it before anyone notices.

Two source code comments of mine:

//we are pressed to handle the keypress; a key question, it is

/* Message:
 *  Prints the messy message <mess> using the mess that is _Message.
 *  (see below)
 */

...


But nothing beats the beauty of this comment I found in the FLTK library: (a GUI toolkit I make use of)

    // NO !!!!   FORTY TIMES NO!!!
    // NO DO NOT SCROLL TO THE FOCUSSED CHILD
    // NO DO NOT DO IT
    // IT BREAKS THE CONTROL PANELS IN NUKE
    // DO NOT ATTEMPT EVER TO KEEP THE FOCUSSED WIDGET IN THE SCROLL
    // DO NOT DO IT
    // IT DOES NOT WORK
    // PLEASE PLEASE STOP PUTTING THIS CODE BACK BILL
    // IF YOU SCROLL SO THAT THE FOCUSSED WIDGET GOES OFFSCREEN, CLICK THE FOCUS
    // OFF THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE DAG WINDOW, THEN ANY CLICK IN THE CONTROL PANEL
    // WILL ZIP THE SCROLLGROUP AWAY FROM WHAT YOU CLICKED ON, AND IT IS EXTREMELY
    // ANNOYING AND A BUG.  PLEASE TALK TO ME BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO
    // SCROLLGROUP OR PACKEDGROUP.  NOTHING IS MORE FRUSTRATING THAN DESIGNING CODE
    // SPECIFIC TO A UI LIBRARY AND HAVING THAT LIBRARY CONSTANTLY CHANGE FROM UNDER YOU.

This one made me laugh from sheer ridiculousness.

It is a little hard describing why I find this so funny, but seriously, the first time i saw it i was bawling in laughter for an hour, and chuckling for hours there after and still I can laugh about it, and have it tickle me.



It has something to do with that being such a true and appropriate warning message, and being so straitforward.  I mean, if you've ever been in charge of something but should contact someone if something goes wrong, but you dont know how wrong something needs to go before you notify them, this kind of a description is such a beautiful and clear and accurate description of when to make that call.  And anybody could see what was happening in that construction yard and know if to make that call.  Just ask yourself.... is this a HUGE fuck up?

i doubt that there is such a thing as a construction site where there was NO alcohol involved.
i think we should call Todd.

I don't know why that's as funny as it is.
