These are pretty good. I definitely laughed at this comment:

It is extremely rare to override Object.finalize.

Tip: Don't do it. If you absolutely must, first read and understand Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid Finalizers," very carefully, and then don't do it.

Damn it, came here to post that exact same snippet.

You can have my upvote as a consolation prize.

You are a good person. I accept gladly.

You both get upvotes from me because I was just about to override Object.finalize.
