Having fun with the new guy

While being a developer short for a while isn't the most fun thing for a small company... losing your new developer wouldn't be much fun either, but i think this was worth taking the chance.

What would you do if the first time you loaded up visual studio you saw this? From the look on the new guys face... i would categorize the 30 minutes i spent finding the most rediculous font for programming and setting up visual studio to be well spent.

We were actually talking about this at work the other day, but we were thinking...

How funny would it be to have the newbie load up "the project" and see things like this:

int a;
string c;

public b87 Truncate_bb(string 6a, int 5a)
{
b87 _b87_333 = new b87(6a);

if (_b87_333.Confirmed)
{
5a = 5a * a;
_b87_333.y68 = 5a;
return _b87_333;
}
else
{
_b87_333.f2 = long.Parse(c);
return _b87_333;
}
}

Fill an entire project with absolutely confusing naming conventions...then pretend like its painfully obvious what that code does.
