I think we can keep the joke even if I don't get it.
The thing is that I don't understand the docstring as a whole. The
first part is fine, but the joke confuses me and makes me wonder what
I missed.
I think it would be enough to add a short explanatory note for why
this option exists at the end, for example that some sendmail
alternatives do not support "-f". I only hope that wouldn't ruin the
joke...? :-)
Best regards,
