Over the years I've found some 'interesting' comments in legacy code. One recent one is a seventeen line screed / excuse for how bad a particular piece of code is that ends with 'This makes me feel really dirty, fortunately, the Client/Server conversions have lowered the users expectations to the point where this seems inconsequential'.
A version history on this file shows that the commenter is the same person who wrote another comment that 'explains' why something is wrong because '... we are RETARDED' (referring to the organization). Supposedly this guy now works for Google. Amazing.
