Dennis M Ritchie在这里有一个关于一些古老UNIX注释的页面

以下是4个，排名不分先后:

// Father, forgive me, for I am sinning

// heaven help me

// horse string-length into correctitude 
(from a textbook)

// what, me worry?

在一个生成HTML的旧perl脚本中找到:

# I would be _very_ brain farting if I said this code didn't need reviewing.
# It will make babies cry, and hair grow on your back, so please don't use it

options.BatchSize = 300; //Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!

// I dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife, Darlene, who will 
// have to support me and our three children and the dog once it gets 
// released into the public.

这是众所周知的，但我喜欢它(在sys/ufs/ufs_vnops.c中):

/*
 * A virgin directory (no blushing please).
 */
