$DEBUG=false
$SAFE=3

# On the theory that if something goes wrong, you should just
# try something else until you find something that works.
module DuckDebugging
  def method_missing(meth, *args, &block)
    m = methods
    meth2 = m[rand(m.size)]
    result = send(meth2, *args, &block)
  rescue => ex
    p [self, meth2, args, ex] if $DEBUG
    retry
  else
    p [self, meth2, args] if $DEBUG
    result
  end
end

class Object
  include DuckDebugging
end

result = (now your program can be any batch of garbage
just enter words at random and you will get something)

p result
