Heh. Run-once software is the best place for cleverness.

I admit that every so often I'm clever in code. I just try to make a
point of not admiring such things too much.  My problem is that I
don't remember what the code does after a week or so... so I'm always
the jerk who write that damn stupid piece of clever code that's hard
to figure out.  Writing code with maintenance in mind saves *me* effort.

Each to his own. :)
