Endless JavaScript Callback Joke

if (received(news)) { move(10).then(() => { go.to(door).then(() => { move(10).then(() => { go.to(reception).then(() => { talk.to(reception).then(() => { move(10).then(() => { talk.to(doctor).then(() => { move(10).then(() => { //I am legally not allowed to finish this joke }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }).catch(); }

A dark code editor shows deeply nested JavaScript-style callbacks describing a long journey from receiving news to talking with a doctor. The joke is that the code keeps nesting and never reaches the punchline because the speaker is “legally not allowed” to finish it, parodying callback hell and evasive joke endings. It is sent as a reaction to overly complicated code, delayed conclusions, or jokes that are intentionally cut short.
