# Page Analysis: Judge Magazine This page contains three distinct humor pieces: 1. **"Verses to Be Hung on an Office Wall"** (left): A poem by Arthur L. Lippmann humorously listing workplace annoyances—visitors parking feet on desks, scattering ashes, dripping umbrellas—addressing the common complaint of office workers whose spaces are invaded and disrespected by colleagues and visitors. 2. **"Daddy! They Made Me a Phi! Beta Kappa! Exulted Eddie"** (center): A cartoon showing a father and son in nature. The accompanying text suggests a humorous exchange between them about academic achievement versus practical life skills—satirizing parental pride in academic honors while questioning their real-world utility. 3. **"Leaves from Myrtle's Sketch-book"** (bottom left): An illustrated piece by Harry Grant Dart about a toastmaster and bird-watching anecdote. 4. **"The Boston Tea Party"** (right): Appears to be a short story, likely referencing the historical event ironically.
