“The clip in today’s post is from the New Man Pages
page, which you can check out for links to even more humour and an
unexpurgated version of this page. As I’ve almost grown sick of
explaining, I had to change a few words to keep this blog in
Google’s good graces (or, more importantly, to keep from getting an
adult warning page slapped on top of a collection of Unix and Linux
scripts and tips). I’m still not sure why they’re so hard-line on
this topic (i.e. you’re either “bad” or you’re “good”). It doesn’t
seem like it would take a quantum leap forward in implementation,
thinking or coding to only tag certain pages with an “adult” flag
while leaving the rest of the site accessible to the general
public. I’m sure there are folks out there who find almost
everything I write offensive to some degree, but… well, enough
with the frustration. As Lenny Bruce used to say, “These are the
jokes, folks!” This is good-time Sunday. Yay :)”
