We were developing a Debugger and my colleague was debugging an infinite loop, which happened to be inside another infinite loop. Of course he did not discover the problem of the outer infinite loop before having fixed the inner one. When our project leader asked him about the progress he had made, he genuinely replied: "It still loops, but much faster". We happened to pull his leg for quite some time of course :)?
