Agreed. As I see it, these jokes are, in their small scale, literature,
not technical writing. One doesn't rewrite literature, unless one is
Roald Dahl's editor, or the original author of the work. IMHO, it'd be
more respectful to their authors to simply delete the jokes if need be
(I don't think there's any need, though).
