# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three separate humor pieces: **"Infamous Last Words"** offers brief satirical quips about everyday annoyances—French dressing containers, finding shaving cream, and the difficulty of borrowing money. **The large cathedral illustration** accompanies a caption about financial investment decisions, satirizing how people postpone important choices until the weekend. **"Diary of a Star"** by Parker Cummings chronicles a football player's experiences in October-November, including a notable 45-yard drop-kick and complaints about repeated football talks and "bedroom farce" assignments—likely mocking both athletic celebrity culture and theatrical entertainment schedules of the era. **"Farm Relief"** is a brief joke about rural traffic and the hazards of crossing one-way streets. The page demonstrates Judge's mix of social commentary, sports satire, and everyday humor typical of early-to-mid 20th century American magazines.
