Hey, it’s not hard to find politically incorrect stereotypes in 1940’s comics. For instance, the first two panels here feature the standard issue, evil Chinese crime lord with sinister claw-like hands. By the beard of Fu Manchu, that’s one creepy Asian!
But the comic goes one step further in the third panel—-using a derogatory term featuring one minority to insult another. (“Indian sign” is a hex or curse that you put on someone.)
Of course, a few years later (during World War II) the Chinese were the good guys. So it was the Japanese who were evil and creepy.

So, why does he need his secretary to stay?
—To make him a real man. (Some assembly required.)
—To organize and prioritize his porn collection.
—To sharpen his pencil. (He only has one.)
No, that can’t be right.
So, I’m taking suggestions. (And, let’s eliminate the obvious. “Dick-tation” doesn’t count.) The funniest, most original answer wins…my gratitude and the admiration of thousands!

So I’ve been at sea for 13 months (mostly without sex) and you think the first thing I want is dinner? Trust me, Sweetie, I haven’t been lying awake at nights dreaming of your cucumber salad.
Or even your meat loaf!
It’s you that I want. Delicious you!
Hmm. And, of course, a really good carrot cake—after (or even during) sex.
