Acorn Jokes, page 212

Once upon a time Coe College published a year book.  It was called (for most of its existence) "The Acorn" after the acorn on the school crest (which isn't the school crest anymore).  Many of the Acorns were funded by advertisers which had their adds printed at the end of the book.  In the 1938 Acorn the ads took up 35 pages.  To encourage students to look at these pages the Acorn staff placed jokes and anecdotes between the advertisements.
