when is a hat like a chair?
Cam: “Why is a hen on a fence like a penny?”
Josh: “Neither of them have teeth?”
Via Peter Pereira’s blog, a collection of antique cigarette cards with various conundrums.
And speaking of neat antique paper things scanned in on the web, des chapeaux is a collection of vintage advertisements for hats. Some of them are lovely. Others remind me of Peg Bracken’s admonishment about being photographed: “Don’t wear a hat, because no matter how smart the hat is now, posterity will snicker.”

Very cool, but what about the answers? Should we post the entire collection on werdle and have entire group tackle them? Or are the answers somewhere else hidden that I just didn’t see?

The questions are more fun than the answers. But you can see the answers by selecting “View Image Details” and then “View Verso”.
