etc/HELLO still contains enough puns that don't offend anyone
and don't provoke bug reports.

Not to revert, but to change the authorship of this joke and to adapt it to
the added Javanese script if you want to take responsibility for handling
future complaints ;-)  As for me, I unsubscribe from that kind of jokes,
I prefer to make fun of corporations, politicians and celebrities,
but not of unsuspecting groups of people.
