I'm with Florian and Paul, the joke is not in an invariant section (which
I would also like to remove, but that's another story), and is not appropriate
for a technical manual. I had never noticed the joke myself or I would have
proposed removal earlier.
Please remove the joke in a single commit and not mix the removal with
anything else.
