Code Challenge: Snacky Friends, a donkey, and Apples

Man, I love code that has comedic Easter eggs in 'em !!!

When I graduated from university eons ago, I got hired and immediately thrown into a project that was long over budget and late delivering.

Four months later, the project was delivered (but buggy), and I was the only team member kept on to eliminate the bugs.  The other two Programmer's, the two analysis, the technical architect and the project manager all left.

Not long after,  I find this gem of a comment in the code: "Completely non-standard way of designing a form.  See my analyst."

Extra funny to me because of the friction between the 4GL Windows Programmer's and the COBOL Mainframe background analysts.

All of that aside: thanks!   Nice to compare output results to validate one's own program with somebody else's work.

Insta-thought: When one comes from a place where the men are men and the donkeys are nervous, the donkeys can only hope to get the short end of any stick late at night ...
