Laugh along with GNU
This section is designed to provide some laughs to the working
hackers. It contains software, documentation, music, poems, etc. submitted
by GNU users and collected by GNU contributors over the years.
Nowadays there are many places on the internet where people can publish
jokes, so before submitting a joke to us, please consider publishing it
somewhere else. Jokes submitted by GNU contributors will have a priority.
Please read the Guidelines for details on our
submission policy.
Many of the graphics in the GNU
Art Gallery also have humorous twists.

This is our policy to include something in the fun section:
(一)It should be funny.
(二)It has no copyright problems.
(三)It is not libelous.
(四)It won't offend most ordinary hackers more than is reasonable in
humor.
(五)Although the humor does not have to be strictly connected to the
computers world, we strongly prefer to reserve these pages for jokes
related to free software, GNU, the UNIX environment, and similar
fields.
