What you’re looking at
This page collects brief humorous anecdotes and jokes, many sourced from college newspapers (Pitt Panther, Dartmouth Jack o'Lantern, Cornell Widow, etc.). The "Leaders" section mocks famous consumer brands by imagining them failing—Ivory Soap not sinking, Castoria (a children's laxative) babies not crying, Gold Dust Twins not working. These were well-known advertisements of the era, so the humor lies in inverting their marketing promises. The remaining jokes are mostly collegiate humor about dating, courtship mishaps, and wordplay (a woman's "permanent waves" hairstyle misunderstood as emotional commitment; a man missing a train only *after* arriving at the station). The cartoon illustrations—showing fashionable 1920s figures—accompany these lighthearted, somewhat dated romantic and social scenarios typical of Judge's satirical college-humor offerings.
