Well, the purpose of "fortune off" is to provide offensive "jokes".  As
such, if you're offended by them, you're kinda getting what you've
asked for.  If removing them falls under what our CoC states, though,
then so be it, I have no horse in this race.

More importantly...

I think this should be reported upstream.  From what I could gather in
a short time, upstream appears both active (last commit 18 days ago)
and willing to make adjustments for "political correctness" (some two
years ago, they removed a lot of blonde jokes, though some simply got
demoted to still sexist jokes about women instead, and off is still
fair game for those, so...), so I think talking will get us further
than one-sided deletion here.

I don't think practical purpose is a bar we can set.  What should we do
with all of the Rust ecosystem otherwise?
(For Rust fans, who were offended by the above, consider collecting
this and other quotes from yours truly in a new offensive/rust file and
we can both be happy.)

As for being non-nice on purpose, I disagree.  It's rather a shame if
the supposedly inoffensive set is still offensive.  And if lack of
humor is a concern, "A nuclear war can ruin your whole day." from
politics sounds just about fine to me :)

Cheers
