Line-by-line commenting in source code

Am I the only one who, when line-by-line comments (either RPG or MI) start
to form a sentence with a few words on each line, finishes out the series
of comments with a line that simply says, "Burma Shave"?

Does anybody else have quirky little bits of comic relief in the source
code? Like my tendency to put allusions to Jadzia or Ezri Dax into the
comments on code that deals with JOINED files? Or a colleague, who was a
real fan of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," naming some input or output buffer
"BUFFY"?
