Back in my heady startup days, I'd occasionally take my programmers to a local pub for afternoon chat and coding sessions. Code produced during these sessions often contained comments like:

  /* First pint begins here */

  /* Starting a second pint */
The idea being to keep track of code written during increasing states of inebriation. Interestingly, later analysis of that code showed no relationship between number of drinks and number of defects. (Of course none of us would ever get really smashed.)
