    I think we should give him the job: he used "C++" in one of the lines:

    for (int C = 0; C < myListString.Count; C++)

          Actually no - I've seen far worse code produced by serious developers. In fact, I would go so far as to say that your code is better than your humor.

            During a recent interview I was asked if I use C++. I said, "Sure, I use C++ all the time!!" They asked me to to write some example code with C++. So I did. Here's what I wrote:

            for (int C = 0; C < myListString.Count; C++)
            {
            if (myListString[C] == myCompareValue) { this.MyDoSomething(myListString[C]); }
            }

            A week later I received the standard decline letter from them. :( + :confused: That's struck me as odd, because I'm confident I wrote some really good example code with C++. ;P (Made this up myself. OK, Now it's your turn ... reply with your [clean] parody [or parity..?!] code joke!)

              Well, here's a few to try: When you go to pay for something, ask the cashier if you can receive half-off twice as much the price (I only do this when things seems slow at the checkout; cuz it takes a moment or two to do...) The cashier will say they are not allowed to do that kind of "special" (even though you didn't say "special") or that they don't know how to ring that price up if they could. Maintain a sincere yet puzzled composure (I kind of keep that happy but perplexed look on my face) as to why you won't receive half-off twice as much. Then ask them if they even know what half-off twice as much is (all the while smiling, sort of like yer letting them know yer having fun chatting with 'em.) They'll usually figure it out by then and chuckle along with ya. ===== Or, ask if they take plastic. When they say yes, hand 'em your Library Card saying, "Great! Here's my Library Card!!" (while having an excited/happy yet fully showing you are kidding them kind of face.) Again, I only do this when it's slow or a Monday and do it in a way as to "lift" them up in sharing of some fun, per se.

                That's not really a joke, it's more of a pun. Very subtle. The syntax (as someone else pointed out) is not even C++, more C#

                  Of course it is NOT C++, it is C#. But "C++" is used in the code. A pun is a single sentence statement, wherein a joke is 1 or more sentences culminating in a punch line. My joke does end with a punch line, albeit quasi-subtle. :~ Man, I guess humor is a NO-NO around here or something. :sigh:

                    Bad or childish humor is not always welcomed, good humor is always welcome.

                      Your reply begs the question, for such is implied within the reply in the mind of this reader, that question being: Are you implying that the joke posted was bad or childish? If yes, do elaborate; realizing full-well your qualifier of such is wholly subjective.
