Here's some particularly bad (Java) code I came across at work. Note the use of "FirstTime".

public void addship(String value1, String value2 , String value3, String value4, String value5)

{

    /* this line just concatenates all the values together as a 

        specially formatted string - Robert (comment not in original code)

    */

    String row = setRow(value1, value2 , value3, value4, value5);

    System.out.println("row = " +row + "    " +i);

    list.insertElementAt(row,i);

    checkBoxValue.trim();

    value5.trim();

    if(FirstTime.equals("Yes")){

        temp_row1 = value5;

        FirstTime = "No";

        checkBoxValue = value5;

    }else{

        if(checkBoxValue.equals(value5)){

        }else

            {

                if(FirstTime.equals("No")){

                    String temp_row2 = temp_row1 + "   " + 1 + "   " + i + "   ";  

                    BoxRow.insertElementAt(temp_row2,BoxRowCount);

                    FirstTime = "DoNot";

                    BoxRowCount = BoxRowCount + 1;

                    start = i;

                }else{

                    String temp_row = checkBoxValue + "   " + start + "   " + i + "   ";  

                    BoxRow.insertElementAt(temp_row,BoxRowCount);

                    BoxRowCount = BoxRowCount + 1;

                    start = i;

                }

            }

        checkBoxValue = value5;

    }

    i = i + 1;

    last_row = checkBoxValue + "   " + start + "   " + i + "   ";

}
