Can we PLEASE get the latest round of UNIX jokes into a more
appropriate group!  (Note follow-up line.)  I'm having a lot of trouble

Those who were on the CMU campus in the summer (?) of '87 might remember
when a certain system developer accidently released a version of the
C-shell to the entire campus in which the message

was changed to
