What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine presents a humor section featuring college jokes and witticisms from various university publications. The content reflects early 20th-century collegiate humor, emphasizing wordplay and mild social commentary. The jokes target predictable subjects: awkward courtship ("I'd like you to meet my daughter"/"No sir; I don't neck, either"), male obtuseness (the German language misunderstanding), and innocent double entendres (the "hard pressed" pun about entertainment). Notable is the ethnic/linguistic humor ("Sprechen sie Deutsch?") and casual references to serious events treated as punchlines—like the Chapel Hill shooting presented as a joke about an "idiot" claiming accident. The merry-go-round fare collector joke plays on women's promiscuity stereotypes. The sidebar "Headache Corner" is essentially an advertisement disguised as advice, promoting Kohler-Antidote remedy while satirizing "superior" intellectual types who suffer headaches. The overall tone is genteel, safe collegiate humor aimed at educated, white, upper-class readers.
