Would jokes regarding the swinging of cats be suitable for
inclusion in a manual ennumerating how many ways there are to skin one?
It is a technical document, technically speaking.
Hmm... All this talk about cats is making me hungry.

PS - For those who didn't stop reading the instantant they
became offended, THIS IS A JOKE. I do not skin, nor do I eat, cats.
Furthermore, I do not advocate such practices, and would like to take
this opportunity to heartily discourage others from taking part in any
such activity.
We seem to have become somewhat sidetracked by the efforts of
those in possession of rather thin skins to publlicize the fact they
easily take offense. Is it possible to get on to something else, now?
The opinions expressed by me are not necessarily those of
anyone.
