That's kind of what I meant by putting "subroutine" in quotes. You obviously wouldn't write it like this, you'd just use a random large number with a bit of explanation.

Oh well, live and learn. I'll try to be clearer next time.

I just took the above comment as continuing the joke, but this explanation actually confuses me more.
Well, I don't really think you need to be very clear in this case. Jokes are more fun when you "get" them rather than have them explained.
