Boolean Comparison in Production

Found this in production today. I need a drink. public static bool CompareBooleans(bool orig, bool val) { return AreBooleansEqual(orig, val); } internal static bool AreBooleansEqual(bool orig, bool val) { if(orig == val) return false; return true; }

A screenshot shows a programmer discovering production code where a function named AreBooleansEqual returns false when two boolean values are equal and true when they differ. The absurdly inverted logic explains the caption about needing a drink, making it a reaction to bad or confusing code.
