Occasionally, I find myself quite amused at the unintentional
typographic jokes created by people trying to edit their news articles.
This excerpt (from net.unix-wizards) is particularly poetic:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	...Or as Judy Garland
	put it so eloquently so many years ago,
	   Birds fly over the rainbow...
	   Why then, oh why can't I.
	~e
	~e
	~e
                     
	~e
	~e
	~e
	(oh, well, I guess ~e doesn't work either.  Guess it's just one
	of those days!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that the ~e's quite nicely represent the happy little birds'
flight.
