Live a little. When you've passed away, was all the seriousness paid off?
That said, funny code should still work

"Divide by cucumber error" sounds like a great string to grep for - so actually helpful for developers to find the place in the code that threw it.
Not having to understand someone's goofy inside joke gives me more time to spend on the things that matter the most to me. So: less funny code == living a little more.
There are other people in the world.
Similar to not caring at all about the rest of society when you're alive, not caring at all about the rest of society when you're dead makes for a shitty society. You are not the world, there is an external reality (with people in it!), and you have obligations to it. I'm not a religious person, but it seems to me that religion helps or used to help with such things.
To me, now alive, those things that will endure after I die matter to me now, because they will endure after I die.
Who cares what happens after you’ve passed away.
Every single person who isn't you.
You are aware there are other people besides you, right?
There's a middle ground for sure. I've left a few witty comments and loglines in my time.
But I've also had to debug a Delphi unit which returned error codes inspired by the magical supercomputer Hex from the Discworld novels.
"Divide by cucumber error" is not a decent enough representation of a module's internal state, no matter how funny you think you are.
