A friend of mine was debugging some awful assembler code and the only
comment on the whole thing read "AWB 9/10". He was pretty stuck and
puzzled and puzzled over the meaning of this comment. Eventually he
tracked down the author of the code and asked him what it signified.
"Oh", he said, " There was an Average White Band concert on the 9th of
October and I wanted remember it........"
