Have a nice day

In the comments, Mike3550 noticed that many of my scripts end:
*have a nice day
Believe it or not, this is actually a useful trick, the reason being that Stata only executes lines that end in a carriage return. Including a gratuitous comment at the end of the script is an easy way to ensure that Stata executes the last real command. If “*have a nice day” is too sappy for you it works just as well to use “*it puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”
