Included in some preformatting code for a client application ...

# How did we get here? Pretend that this line doesn't exist and just store

A (large) number of years back, before I got test infected, I picked up the idea of putting the equivalent of asserts into places that should never be reached, except I called them "dryrot", and printed them as such. They later caused some embarrasement to the fellow who inherited a chunk of work I'd done, after he'd modified and deployed without thorough testing. Heh heh.

And when the code becomes self aware, the question "How did we get here?" becomes philosophical
:)
