Funny patent claim

Seen on Reddit via TechDirt: a patent application, in the USPTO system, that has as one of its claims:

9. The method of providing user interface displays in an image forming apparatus which is really a bogus claim included amongst real claims, and which should be removed before filing; wherein the claim is included to determine if the inventor actually read the claims and the inventor should instruct the attorneys to remove the claim.
