--- Comment #3 from Shane <FreeBSD@ShaneWare.Biz> ---
(In reply to Jilles Tjoelker from comment #2)
While related, it's not the same issue - removing a potentially offensive
datafile ("fortunes-o") from the base system is not the same as `fortune -o`
selecting from files ending with "-o".

/head/games/fortune/datfiles/Makefile comments that the "limerick murphy-o
gerrold.limerick" are potentially offensive, so even removing "fortunes-o"
didn't remove all offensive fortunes.

man fortune states -=20

So the issue isn't whether offensive fortunes exist, they could have been a=
dded
by the user, or installed from ports. The issue is that the `-o` option sho=
uld
use files ending with "-o" when finding a fortune to display, currently the
`-o` option only searches for one filename, which doesn't exist now, when it
should find all files ending with "-o". Of course the `-o` option could be
removed with all fortune files being treated as equals.

If the current behaviour is "as expected", then the man page should be upda=
ted
to reflect that.
