[x] Not offended. Clean it up anyway. It's unprofessional in the
extreme and can only result in embarassment and trouble.
As a Christian, I agree with Gary. :)
As an atheist I always wonder why christians can turn the other cheek
but cannot seem to muster how to turn their eyes away!

The problem seems simple to me. A filthy Limerick is not a Fortune.
The program is misnamed.
Call it something else or just put fortunes in it.
