This morning I decided to read up on an area of Java usage that I'm particularly weak on, Exceptions. I came across this wonderful statement that I think we, as programmers, should think about a lot more often than we evidently do.

Effective Java wrote:What does this code do? It's not at all obvious from inspection, and that's reason enough not to use it.

I knew what it did as soon as I saw it. But I still think it was code deserving a smilie.
