aef0c8e553 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.

39aa73fd6d Add some missing punctuation symbols, in particular @ which (according to
a recent Press Association release) was added to Morse code by the ITU in
December. @ was previously used for the SK prosign, which is now spelt &.

dba5418199 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.

1f5522a497 In the build process, fortune files have been randomized since at
least the 4.4-lite days.  This is pointless, since fortune(6) performs
its own randomization.  It was also problematic for binary update
systems such as ports/security/freebsd-update.  This commit simply
removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.
