4c163f4c32 Nuke duplicates found via fuzzy logic: 
- typos
- different spelling, punctuation, whitespace
- phonetically similar names
- words rearranged ("was once" vs "once was" etc)

If a limerick appeared as a single one and as part of a
double or triple, the singleton was removed.

With a little help from: sort limerick|uniq -d
This still turns up 20 lines being repeated, but the respective
limericks are sufficiently unique to leave them in (i.e. most differ
in at least two lines).

Nuke spaces in front of colons while I'm here.

1d449dce78 Move the "yiddish cooking has killed more jews than Hitler" quote back 
to the offensive file.

The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as
they offer more historical perspective than this one.

53365f4b43 Give a better advice on how to convert DOS text to UNIX text. 
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.

6325a5d282 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.
