in vi you can replace all ^M characters with command
:%s/^M//g

(Note that to type ^M in vi type Ctrl-V Enter)

I realise that this note may be offensive for vi users Smilie

fortune

FORTUNE(6)							 BSD Games Manual							FORTUNE(6)

NAME

     fortune -- print a random, hopefully interesting, adage

SYNOPSIS

     fortune [-aefilosw] [-m pattern] [[N%] file/dir/all]

DESCRIPTION

     When fortune is run with no arguments it prints out a random epigram.  Epigrams are divided into several categories, where each category is
     subdivided into those which are potentially offensive and those which are not.  The options are as follows:

     -a    Choose from all lists of maxims, both offensive and not.  (See the -o option for more information on offensive fortunes.)

     -e    Consider all fortune files to be of equal size (see discussion below on multiple files).

     -f    Print out the list of files which would be searched, but don't print a fortune.

     -l    Long dictums only.

     -m    Print out all fortunes which match the regular expression pattern.  See regex(3) for a description of patterns.

     -o    Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms.  Please, please, please request a potentially offensive fortune if and only if you
	   believe, deep down in your heart, that you are willing to be offended.  (And that if you are, you'll just quit using -o rather than
	   give us grief about it, okay?)

		 ... let us keep in mind the basic governing philosophy of The Brotherhood, as handsomely summarized in these words: we believe in
		 healthy, hearty laughter -- at the expense of the whole human race, if needs be.  Needs be.
			     --H. Allen Smith, "Rude Jokes"

     -s    Short apothegms only.

     -i    Ignore case for -m patterns.

     -w    Wait before termination for an amount of time calculated from the number of characters in the message.  This is useful if it is exe-
	   cuted as part of the logout procedure to guarantee that the message can be read before the screen is cleared.

     The user may specify alternate sayings.  You can specify a specific file, a directory which contains one or more files, or the special word
     all which says to use all the standard databases.	Any of these may be preceded by a percentage, which is a number N between 0 and 100 inclu-
     sive, followed by a %.  If it is, there will be a N percent probability that an adage will be picked from that file or directory.	If the
     percentages do not sum to 100, and there are specifications without percentages, the remaining percent will apply to those files and/or
     directories, in which case the probability of selecting from one of them will be based on their relative sizes.

     As an example, given two databases funny and not-funny, with funny twice as big, saying

	   fortune funny not-funny

     will get you fortunes out of funny two-thirds of the time.  The command

	   fortune 90% funny 10% not-funny

     will pick out 90% of its fortunes from funny (the ``10% not-funny'' is unnecessary, since 10% is all that's left).  The -e option says to
     consider all files equal; thus

	   fortune -e

     is equivalent to

	   fortune 50% funny 50% not
	   -funny

FILES

     /usr/share/fortune
