# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains two separate pieces of humor: **"Why There Will Always Be An Unemployment Problem"** (top) is a dialogue joke about a businessman who forgot an important matter, then dismisses his employee's concerns about being called back to work urgently. The humor relies on the businessman's scattered priorities and indifference to others' time. **"The Baseball Fan Goes In Training"** (bottom left) is a humorous monologue offering absurd baseball coaching advice, full of malapropisms and nonsensical suggestions (like using a ten-foot pole to hit). It's gentle sports satire. The large cartoon (right) shows someone throwing household items and pets out a window in frustration, with the caption "Darn that woman, why don't she jump herself and quit tossing her pets out." This appears to be domestic humor, though the subject matter is dark by modern standards.
