Package: fortunes
Version: 1:1.99.1-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The Match Game quote at the end of /usr/share/games/fortunes/humorists,
has a couple of small errors.

First, the "The young people are very different..." ditty is
misattributed. His name is Nipsey Russell, not Lipsy Russell. (This
required adjusting the spacing of the whole thing.)

Second, I corrected what's likely a typo: "Kids to use to" to "Kids used
to".

Thanks for maintaining such a cool package, and for your work in Debian
in general!

What I hope is a useful patch follows (I don't do this much):
