Lighten up man, you're going to get a cramp in your sphincter muscles.

I thought it was clever and amusing.  Therefore it benefitted me.
It's a pun on the Pepsi slogan, dude!  Doncha get it?

then that would also have been clever, though slightly less so, since
the FSF has more of a connection with Linux than with BSD.
