“I wish our milkman kept a cow”? Very unusual, as I sit and squirm through several of these. As always, good comedy writers are hard to find.

These are definitely a mixed bag. My favorite is the shrinking shirt, having put more than one item of clothing in a hot water wash that came out two sizes smaller.

I debated about whether to use “A second look necessary” — I think we ought to know what our ancestors thought was humorous even when it makes us cringe today, but … yeah … it gave me pause.

The last joke is, I think, indicating that Miss Blank is going to write a lot of four-page letters, based on the ratio of envelopes to sheets. What else would a young woman go on about at such great length except her fiance and wedding plans? A little Sherlockian deduction on the part of the bookseller.

This is certainly a mixed bag of interesting jokes. “A second look necessary” gave me pause. But I didn’t get the last one.
