I too feel confused by that patricular joke.
Being a joke is not bad, but confusing the reader is bad.
So I think it should be deleted.
It poses a question which is a good question, but fails to
answer it. Is the suspend command useful? I guess that it is or was
useful for some people. Can anyone say why it was useful?
How about replacing a joke with an explanation?

Can anyone explain that joke to me? I don't get it.
