This is actually standard on many versions of unix. Even more funny is the comment that immediately precedes that joke in the nroff source code for the tunefs man page on SunOS. The comment is apparently intended to keep bureaucratic minds from removing the traditional joke: Take this out and a Unix Demon will dog your steps from now until the time_t's wrap around. [Note - readers have pointed out that the tuna comment has existed in man pages since the early days of BSD. So it looks like the threat works - ed.] -- Selected by Jim Griffith.
