From: arensb@cvl.umd.edu (Andrew Arensburger) Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny Subject: New product release: GNUsub Keywords: original, computer, chuckle Message-ID: <S2cc.3880@looking.on.ca> Date: 3 Aug 91 10:30:04 GMT Lines: 29 Approved: funny@looking.on.ca [Yes, this is original] Newsgroups: gnu.announce.parody Subject: New product release Keywords: smirk, original Date: May 27, 1991 The Free Hardware Foundation, headed by Richard St. Mallman (aka The Studly Quux), has just announced the release of the GNUsub. GNUsub is the FHF's submarine sandwich, intended to replace other, commercial sandwiches. It measures seventeen feet by three feet, and contains not only conventional ingredients such as steak, cheese, onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, meatballs, turkey and roast beef, but also less commonplace ones, such as yogurt, chocolate fudge, rocky road ice cream, pineapple slices, breadsticks, brown sugar, kelp, paper and, of course, Toll House cookies. The GNUsub comes packaged with various kitchen utensils, the most important of which is an oven, which allows the user to reconfigure the GNUsub as a hot sandwich, or even as a pizza. For the moment, the GNUsub is available only from FHF headquarters in Massachussetts. It will be distributed nationwide as soon as deli- catessen owners can be persuaded to give it away for free, as required by the FHF Public License. -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
