The guy who wrote the software I'm currently trying to fix had a neat fuzzy logic system going.

As far as I can decipher from his "code", it went something like this:

NULL - Was I really meant to initialise it?
TRUE - Well, it seemed as good a value as any other so I just went with it.
FALSE - See true.
TRUE OR FALSE - I really haven't a clue what's going on and maybe calling it IsNotInCollection added to the confusion so I'll test for both true and false because one of them's bound to be right. I think.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON - Something always has to be different on a Tuesday afternoon, doesn't it?
POSSIBLY - Might be, might not be, better not test just in case.
WOMBLES - I wasn't really thinking about the requirements when I wrote this bit.
CATFISH - Catfish? Catfish are cool, m'kay. They've got those weird probe-like things that look a bit like whiskers. That's why they call them catfish, you know. They can get really, really big and stuff. What's this software meant to be doing again?
WIBBLE - I'm going to show off now and try to do some LINQ. I'm good at LINQ and I'll be even better when I've learned it.
OOPSIE - Damn! I almost got it right, I was just binding to a completely unrelated value. It happens.
Slogans aren't solutions.
