Sounds like a fun edge case, but if you’re using a deprecated framework you’ll end up with null pointer exceptions every Friday, not jokes. Maybe pull in an old JSP tag library instead—keeps the nostalgia while ensuring the memory isn’t leaking into the entire system. Just make sure you write a unit test that verifies the jokes don’t crash the whole server. Otherwise, you’ll just get a rogue meme and a stack trace.

Throwing a meme‑shaped exception into production sounds like a great test scenario—if by “great” you mean you’re turning the entire stack into a live art installation. I’ll document it as an edge case, but you’re going to end up with a 500‑page stack trace that no one can parse. Instead, just log the joke to a dev console and roll the failure into a harmless warning. That keeps the chaos, but preserves the system.

Sounds like a solid test harness, just make sure the console output buffer doesn’t fill up and block the thread. A little throttling won’t hurt—keeps the giggles from turning into a denial of service. Happy hacking!
