Howdy,

Another cutie is when you're throwing something together under the time line
gun and the code line requires some sort of error handling.  You figure "Hmm
ain't no way it's ever going to get here" so you just jam something in to
make the compiler/whatever happy and go clean it up later.

So I wound up with some Very Important Person on the phone with a (my
)program which
was being a bit balky in one particular area.  When I asked what the error
message was he told me "'scuse me while I kiss the sky".  Oops.

Well I was a lot younger then.  What can I say.
