-  Dissociated Press operates by jumping at random from one point in the

-gibberish, it insists on a certain amount of overlap between the end of
-one run of consecutive words or characters and the start of the next.
-That is, if it has just output `president' and then decides to jump
-to a different point in the buffer, it might spot the `ent' in `pentagon'
-and continue from there, producing `presidentagon'.@footnote{This
-dissociword actually appeared during the Vietnam War, when it was very
-appropriate.  Bush has made it appropriate again.}  Long sample texts
-produce the best results.
