What you’re looking at
This page contains three brief humorous anecdotes with no illustrations: 1. **"Wondairful Climax!"** — A French military attaché in Washington attends a golden wedding (50th anniversary) and, upon learning what it is, expresses amazement that a couple could remain together harmoniously for fifty years. 2. **"A Twice Told Tale"** — A short poem about a teddy bear on ice that melts away, with a pun on "tale" being told twice. 3. **"There's a Limit"** — A flirtatious poem where a man compliments a woman's loving heart, but she dismissively responds she didn't realize she was being "so decollette" (a fashion reference to neckline exposure). The final line jokes about Prohibition agents being bolder than bootleggers—a contemporary reference to 1920s alcohol enforcement.
