nypl:

What is the difference between a photographer and the whooping cough?

Why are ‘Capstan’ Cigarettes like L100,000?

Why is a school boy being flogged like you eye?

Why a plum cake is like the ocean?

.

For more delightfully dumb old-time jokes, go to the library’s digital collection of “riddle” cigarette cards. (Warning: they really are dumb.)

About

Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities. Working collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the Internet’s specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.
