What you’re looking at

This page is a humor advice column featuring four Q&A exchanges. The jokes rely on wordplay and social commentary: 1. **Worried Winnifred** asks how to contact a soldier; the answer jokes about military bureaucracy. 2. **Ima Boob** observes a crying baby and receives a joke implying the father is poorly dressed ("sympathized with its father"). 3. **Puzzled Pussy** compares military recruits ("cooties"), "gray-backs" (lice), and conscientious objectors—the joke being that soldiers have military training while other "vermin" lack discipline. 4. **Mikelovitch**, a foreigner, asks what "sport" means. The answer satirizes American crime: in England a sport is gambling; in America it's someone police pursue. The humor targets military life, fashion, and American crime culture of the era.
