What you’re looking at

**"Blood vs. Hootch"**: A Scotsman hit by a Ford car hopes the liquid running down his leg is blood rather than the whiskey from his flask he was carrying. The joke plays on Scottish stereotypes about drinking and valuing alcohol. **"A Stew's Lament"**: A husband denies putting the cat out; he tells his wife to do it herself if she doesn't believe him. The humor relies on the double meaning of "put out"—the wife accuses him of evicting the cat, he suggests she stop complaining. **"Sympathy"**: A poor man sees a Humane Society window display of a skinned animal with a placard explaining it was killed for fur coats. He relates to the animal's suffering, having experienced his own poverty and exploitation.
