I was interviewing these guys (and some girls) for admission to an enhanced programming course (highschool level), and one of them was very eager to show me what he had done.
He handed me a CD-R and told me to take a look at it, so I put it in the computer and, expecting to be pleasantly surprised, opened it to find a single 130KB file with a .bas extension (at this point I'm already starting to feel suspicious).
Me: "What's this?"
Him: "Oh, just a little something I wrote in my spare time."
Me: "Could you explain?"
Him: "It's... a server thing."
I open the file in a text editor and... you figure out the rest:

I facepalmed and sighed so deeply he asked if something was wrong. I told him he'd probably be better off taking one of the beginner level courses.
