edlin humor

Even Microsoft gets into the act. This is not strictly Edlin humor, but it was included in the tutorial in the MSDos 4.1 manual so I think its fair game. Something tells me that Microsoft would never put such a text excerpt in any modern manual!

Dear Mr. Dimm,

I was sorry to hear of your recent
hospitalization due to electrical
shock from our X-1000 Automatic
Pencil Sharpener.

As a result of your accident, we
are redesigning our manual to
warn our customers against trying
to sharpen metal objects.

Sincerely,

I.R. Sharpe, President
