That reminds me, years ago I was on the corporate buyer end of a sizable project, and everything was rolling smoothly toward closing, until a fellow engineer and I went on-site to see the code. It was as if it had been run through a human obfuscator.

The "programmers" had to convince us this wasn't a prank before we walked out in shock.
