On Stackoverflow someone asked what to do with good code which isn't needed anymore. This was the answer: <blockquote>As an answer, please consider this short story:
The dead code Collector: Bring out yer dead code. Man with dead code : Here's one. The dead code Collector: That'll be ninepence. The dead code: I'm not dead code. The dead code Collector: What? Man with dead code : Nothing. There's your ninepence. The dead code: I'm not dead code. The dead code Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead code. Man with dead code : Yes he is. The dead code: I'm not. The dead code Collector: He isn't. Man with dead code : Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. The dead code: I'm getting better. Man with dead code : No you're not, you'll be stone dead code in a moment. The dead code Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. The dead code: I don't want to go on the cart. Man with dead code : Oh, don't be such a baby. The dead code Collector: I can't take him. The dead code: I feel fine. Man with dead code : Oh, do me a favor. The dead code Collector: I can't. Man with dead code : Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. The dead code Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. Man with dead code : Well, when's your next round? The dead code Collector: Thursday. The dead code: I think I'll go for a walk. Man with dead code : You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? The dead code: I feel happy. I feel happy. [the dead code Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the dead code with his a whack of his Ctrl-X] Man with dead code : Ah, thank you very much.--BraveSirFoobar</blockquote>.
