Yes but it *can* work just after you install it but before you ever run 
it! This part seems like a disclaimer if I've ever saw one:

     -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?)

And you don't have to install it - you can research it! See
