She may be a bag of trouble
Inherited Syphillis
Joe cared for his lathe so tenderly...

They truly were the "greatest generation".

From the rest of the series, it looks like "pro" means "prophilaxis" - looks like they encouraged a routine shot of penicillin after every visit with random hussies.

Everlasting Blort, Pas?

How quaint. I notice the important things to do to prvent jacking off are group activities. Sports. Work. No solitary reading allowed, apparently.

So, is that how the circle jerk was invented?

What does this have to do with a bird?

I think the subtext is something like "Don't let this innocent young lady get her bird all infected with gonorrhea."

I think it just refers to the army.:)

Just to kind of speculate ...

Given the difference in styles of warfare amongst the conflicts specified on that graph ... the doughboys spent most of their time in the trenches, right? If you're not on leave/liberty, or there aren't the customary batch of camp following wenches, that limits one's exposure to those nasty little organisms.

During WW I millions of people were dying from the flu so off base movement was severely restricted.;)

And here they are again... sort of.

Those were, dare I say...inspiring!

You know, *we* could do stuff like that here at The Cellar. Or maybe we could just have another logo contest...

Thus inspired by the link posted by bmbg, I took the liberty of surfing up a WWII poster archive site. Here's my before and after version. Maybe it could inspire some other photo-mangling fun.
