R. David Murray added the comment:
Indeed, the sentence that confused you was added because people were
continually confused by the fact that doing:
'foo.boo'.strip('.boo')
would result in 'f' rather than 'foo'.
We would welcome an improvement, but apparently this is very hard to make clear.
Repeating the mississippi example is probably a good idea.
