afe8bb313c * Reformat several attributions according to ../Notes (mostly whitespace)
* Spell out some names that were pointlessly abbreviated
* Remove a couple of incidental duplicates
* Harry Truman had no actual middle name. The initial "S" was added to his
name to make him appear more statesmanlike. Therefore it's not usually punctuated.
* Format a couple of actual fortunes to fit into 72 columns

14f166b706 Don peril-sensitive sunglasses and correct the spelling of ukulele.
"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote
had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

25f718f0b7 Fix misspellings in the freebsd-tips fortunes. The same PR has
a patch to mention portupgrade in freebsd-tips as well; I'm not
sure if that belongs here, so I'll leave it for someone else.
