What you’re looking at
This page collects brief humorous observations and jokes from college humor magazines of the 1920s-era, organized as a miscellaneous humor section. **Key content:** The jokes employ period stereotypes and references: "Matzos/Passover" plays on Jewish identity; a reference to Lindy (Lindbergh's famous flight) suggests topical humor; "Bull Durham" tobacco appears as a recognizable brand for comedic incongruity. **The cartoons** show exaggerated situations—a woman labeled "Leaders" being thrown by men, a theater ticket agent's absurd logic about "standing room seats," a disheveled figure in a ticket booth. **Overall tone:** These are campus/college-oriented jokes emphasizing wordplay, misunderstandings, and gentle social observation rather than sharp political satire. The humor relies on recognizable contemporary references (Lindbergh, specific colleges mentioned) that anchored the jokes in their moment. The page represents Judge's lighter, non-editorial content—filler material showcasing submissions from various college publications.
