Actually, there are even worse problems.....
  If you submit a joke that is of the form

	text text text ... text text
	  .    .    .        .    .
	text text text ... text text

	< a bunch of line feeds >

	punch line

please put some warning in the header about the line feeds
so that those of us reading the jokes on a real terminal 
(like a Bitgraph or a LISPM) can change the terminal size down
to a wimpy 24 so that the joke doesn't look so stupid.
