A developer friend of mine worked the support/development line at a small company. One of his calls one day was complaining about how he couldn't get the software to send something via email. After digging through the code, he found the following structure:

<br /> if faxTransmission then<br /> // Fax transmission<br /> ...<br /> ...<br /> [10K lines of code]<br /> else if emailTransmission<br /> // TODO when there is time<br />
