If Garrett wrote code

PHP

function easy_job()
{
  $bag = array();
  $loot = array('gold plate', 'gold cup', 'jeweled scepter');

  foreach($loot as $swag)
  {
    if(size($swag) > 0)
    {
      $bag[] = $swag;
    }
  }

return $bag;

}

SQL

SELECT loot FROM manor WHERE rich_noble IS "Bafford";

C++

void deal_with_guard(human guard, human garrett)
{
  if(guard.name == "Benny")
  {
    sneak_past_guard(guard, garrett);
  }
  else
  {
    if(guard.alertness == 0)
    {
      sneak_past_guard(guard, garrett);
    }
    if(guard.alertness == 1 || guard.alertness == 2)
    {
      hide_in_shadows(garrett);
      garrett.weapon = "Blackjack";
      garrett.movement = "Lean forward";
      if(in_range(guard, garrett))
      {

Conversation

“[Y]ou’re lovely and brilliant. Thanks for making me smile. My friend (and fellow TTLG member) Sarah, in New Zealand said, ‘Oh god that’s geeky.’”

Lindsey Pope

It is geeky, which is kind of odd for me, since I’m usually not such an overt geek. I like the SQL statement best (‘cause non-programmers can understand it too), and that was the idea that sparked the rest of the them.
