I thought the cobol way of doing things was (partial excerpt):

	if user_address = "1700 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1700_NW_3rd_street()
	elif user_address = "1701 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1701_NW_3rd_street()
	elif user_address = "1702 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1702_NW_3rd_street()
	elif user_address = "1703 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1703_NW_3rd_street()
	elif user_address = "1704 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1704_NW_3rd_street()
	elif user_address = "1706 NW 3rd Street":
		send_bill_to_1706_NW_3rd_street()
	(etc.)

	JUST KIDDING!!!!   ;o)  !!!

Then there's the new Cobol with OO extensions, called

	"ADD ONE TO COBOL"	;o)

Sorry, old jokes, couldn't resist.
