What you’re looking at

This page contains humorous verses and satirical commentary rather than cartoons. The content includes: **Military satire**: A WWI-era song from British soldiers ("Limies") expressing their desire to stop military duties—no drilling, marching, or polishing brass—once the war ends. The humor lies in soldiers' frustration with military discipline. **Social humor**: A verse about a woman named "Kitty" who appears attractive at dances but looks tired the next morning—likely mocking women's makeup or the toll of nightlife. **Commercial satire**: A washing machine advertisement ("Don't kill your wife. Get one of our machines") satirizes crude marketing that treats housework as deadly drudgery. **Record store humor**: A poorly-worded record advertisement is mocked for its awkward phrasing suggesting the seller has low standards. The page uses wit to critique military life, gender stereotypes, and commercial culture.
