dholland 386c99328f Restore the catman joke.
It needs the (8), or it fails to work for people who don't know or had
forgotten catman(8) was ever a thing.

as the de facto fortunes editor and also I think the person who added
that fortune in the first place, and given the discussion in
tech-userlevel, I think I get to do this.

kamil fa5b5b5087 Revert to the original phrasing, but remove the man 8 section reference.
catman is a historical Unix tool.
