“Funniest piece of code I ever debugged had a comment, “You should never get here”.

The worst piece of code I had to maintain was given to me by a very ‘bright’ and clever programmer that used to modify OP codes in assembler.

But that’s threaded programming. I had to work on 6502 code that would hit opcodes as data and vice versa. I tried to sneak in the opcode change, but it was “suggested” that that might not match with continued employment. I did manage to move the start of the program out of the buffer area, and lengthen the code so it could be disassembled. Did you by any chance inherit code from ‘Mel’?
