If you're under 60, this cartoon may be baffling to you. But 100 years ago it would have gone over like gangbusters!

Later in life, Al Jolson became an ob/gyn specializing in breast cancer diagnosis. Yes, the mammygram.
I'll let myself out.

What's annoying is that the fragile little snowflakes who would be 'triggered' beyond hysteria don't read fine presentations such as this and will never know....annoying in that we don't get to laugh at them but still a good thing in that we don't have to listen to them.

You win again, @Kent!
How long has it been since anyone mentioned Al Jolson and Gangbusters on the interwebtubes, @Stilton? It's hell getting old...

It's lovely having readers old enough to get my jokes, rather than the distressed look I get when joshing (another old guy word) with younger folks. And I've reached the point where I don't CARE if younger people are baffled by a punchline. Why not, so many of them are baffled by everything anyway...

That's just an excuse to look at them and shake your head sadly while saying "what are they teaching kids nowadays ? they don't know anything anymore." It works too, they get sooo mad :)
