What you’re looking at
This page collects brief humorous anecdotes and jokes from college humor magazines (MIT Voo Doo, Penn Punch Bowl, etc.), typical of Judge's format. **Key satirical elements:** - **"Leaders" section title** ironically frames trivial college pranks and wordplay as serious matters worthy of "judging" - **Meanest-man joke** satirizes radio listeners who request songs then immediately turn off their radios—mocking petty, antisocial behavior as notable enough to discuss - **"Little Johnnie" story** uses child mispronunciation of "little kittens" as "tittens" for sexual innuendo humor, popular in early-20th-century publications - **Coach/Runt dialogue** plays on boxing clichés about larger opponents - **Museum bust reference** jokes about Scottish thriftiness (a common ethnic stereotype of the era) The page represents Judge's formula: collecting campus humor submissions that mock everyday absurdities, social pretension, and college life through gentle satire and wordplay rather than hard political commentary.
