Code comments

Sadly, I've written code that merited this comment more than once:

/* ---------------------
This is the messiest code I've ever produced. But that doesn't matter, as it's clearly been spec'd as a quick'n'dirty throwaway project that'll never be reused.

If you're reading this, that's been disregarded. Quit your job, leave the country, fake your death, whatever it takes to avoid working on this file.
--------------------- */

The worst of it is, it'd probably be me¹ reading it again a couple of years hence.
