The former tip used `col -bx', which would not only discard
CR's, but also expand TAB's and remove BS'en. This effect is
not always wanted.

Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,
...
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants). The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them. The rest is written to stdout.
