Any new invention brings unforeseen problems. It must have been some time before correcting fluid was invented. The humor is also an example of how stereotypes were regularly the basis for laughter in this era. We see it now as mean spirited but I think it resembles the style of hurtful comments found on many internet sites today. At least the old vinegar postcards rhyme.
