Odds and Grns. Quips and questions in a bustling miscellany
A long, quirky column of puns and anecdotes includes jokes about capital punishment like a resort, a dogged critique of cruelty to animals, and oddities from editors and professors. It cites Miss and Misdemeanor humor, Irish wit, a Boston fare tale, and a Detroit boy carving a pine scene with four horses and dogs in pursuit of a fox, all reflecting late 19th century newspaper whimsy.
