I used to ... until about 8 years ago when I response.write'd a large "FUCK YOU" in an asp app that I forgot to take out.

A big honkin' "FUCK YOU" that showed up during QA 5 minutes before client showed up for review.

Never again.

This is exactly why I don't put curse words in code, even in comments. This stuff really does happen, and the results can be awkward. It just isn't worth it.
