Description Duane 2015-11-10 00:56:10 UTC 
The limericks files associated with the fortune program do not have the '-o' suffix despite being much more offensive that the fortunes that are currently flagged as offensive.

This isn't a problem if you call `fortune` with no arguments, as it only uses the primary file in that case, but if you call `fortune all` without the `-o` or `-a` switch it will display the limericks which are quite crude and offensive.  There are for example at least 57 occurrences of the word 'cunt' in `limerick` and 3 more in `gerrold.limerick`.  There are 88/1 occurrences of the work 'fuck' respectively.

When you add the words pussy, dick, prick, screw, ass, whang, sodomy, cock, and semen then there are at least 172/14 additional occurrences respectively.

By comparison, the offensive fortunes in 'murphy-o' include things as innocuous as "Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself".

All non-tip fortunes were removed from base.
