The family tree of code maintenance! Someone's friend learned COBOL (that ancient language from the 60s still powering banks and government systems) only to inherit a codebase last touched by his actual mother in the 90s. Talk about biological inheritance vs programming inheritance! While OOP enthusiasts would expect to extend a parent class with new methods, this poor soul got literal parental legacy code instead. The real inheritance tax is maintaining your mom's spaghetti code from the Reagan era. Bet those family dinners get awkward when he asks about the lack of documentation.
