"Never, ever, put anything unprofessional into a draft. Not on
purpose, anyway. No insults, no bad language, no jokes."
This reminds me of a draft of a long technical report someone showed
me years ago that had a Table 6-4. It was a picture of a antique round
table with claw feet. I thought it was funny. Granted, the writer
probably knew his/her reviewers and felt comfortable putting it in.
Don't know how many people commented on it.
