What you’re looking at

This page contains a humor advice column where "Captain Billy" answers reader questions with jokes. The content reflects 1920s American satirical humor: **Key jokes:** - A suggestion to serve "tongue and eggs" as cheap fare - A joke about moonshine (Prohibition-era illegal alcohol) - Etiquette humor about hand-shaking while sitting (satirizing rigid social rules) - A "why is the ocean blue?" joke mocking people as "objectionable" - The classic "why does a chicken cross the road?" joke with a sexual innuendo punchline about "easy picking" The satire targets social pretension, Prohibition's reality, and dated etiquette rules. The humor is crude and reflects working-class American comedy of the era. The page showcases *Whiz Bang's* characteristic irreverent, populist approach to social commentary through bawdy jokes.
