Murphy's Law and others were removed from fortune here.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/usr.bin/fortune?id=0538d7bbe620fafcdf296305bcd8aad2cb7d24f1

When there were no arguments, one file called fortunes is automatically added
here.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/usr.bin/fortune/fortune/fortune.c?id=195f1b124da4bf73d951cd251dffd9485672fe0a#n387

It seems that xxx and xxx.dat in the fortune file must be a pair, so the revert
method challenged above is missing something.
The following procedure will restore it.

cd /usr/share/games/fortune
ln -s freebsd-tips fortunes
ln -s freebsd-tips.dat fortunes.dat
fortune

I think we should make this symlink the default to create :)
