Punish User for Null

if (a == null) { // Punish user for null Thread.Sleep(9999999); }

A programming code snippet checks whether a value is null and then makes the thread sleep for an absurdly long time. The joke is that a user who provided a null value is humorously punished with an almost endless delay, making it a reaction to bugs, bad input, or frustrating users.
