My favorite piece of humor was many years ago when I was converting a
package from Versatec to drive their printer/plotter.  It was about
6000 lines of Fortran II (!!!) code that needed to get converted to
Fortran IV.  Lots of documentation for each subroutine, including 4 to
8 pages describing variables, lots of flowcharts, etc.

About half way into the documentation set, I see the flag BTL defined,
so I quick-scanned the code for it and couldn't find it.  I looked back
at the documentation:

	BTL		FLAG		INDICATES WHETHER THIS IS A
					BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO
					SANDWICH.

Needless to say, this made my day.
