Laughing Stock: Laughable Punchlines and Oddities
Comic snippets and quips draw humor from misread signs and misfortune. A mirror, a cow, a vanished license plate, and a caveman boyfriend fuel light newsroom jokes about luck, licensing, and empty stomachs in a whimsical page of jokes.

Army star Glenn Davis recalls a pivotal 40 yard run and a sudden lateral without memory of the period. The piece also recalls Dempsey and Herrera memory gaps, then shifts to baseball with Larry MacPhail, Bucky Harris, and Charlie Dressen praising the Yankees 1947 leadership and pitching, and a potential return to form for DiMaggio, Henrich, and Rizitto.
