Still it is not clear why a silly joke needs to be on the front page of HN!

Humour that taught me, someone that doesn't touch C, that you can do some interesting / weird things with C...

But, you are absolutely right, good sir. This is the internet.

And The Internet is Serious Business

I see something that makes me chuckle, I upvote it. 20 more people do the same and it is on the front page. Nothing mysterious, really.

It isn't mysterious. It just doesn't match the vibes of HN. I don't come on HN to see silly jokes. And as you can see by the number of flags this post has received to kill it, it looks like most HN readers agree with me.

Then you’re really not going to like my signature move from the 90s:

On the main mail server, echo “jive | more” > /usr/bin/less

So you're saying that the HN front page should be humorless...
