I’m not sure what the gag is – the photo looks like one that would date to the 60′s or 70′s, but there’s no explanation that I can see.

I think I went to college with Mr. Jablome. It seems he had a twin brother, Y. Don

Bill,

It’s in the caption. The E in Mr. Jablome’s name is not silent.

I went to college with Mr. Jablome’s cousin: Jack Meoff.

I feel SO juvenile all of a sudden…

Oh too funny LOLZ

Oh YOU GUYS!! (she said, while making unladylike snorting noises.)

“Jack Mehoff” is an old college joke we used on our German professor. The note we handed to the professor read, “Will Jack Mehoff please contact the Dean of Students?” After repeating it several times and
after the laughter died down, the professor (a former luftwaffe pilot) said, “Had tings ben a bit different, I vud be teaching Q English instead of Cherman.

Oh, that’s hysterical.

I guess the photographer was too intent on getting the spelling correct to notice he had been “had.” Poor schmuck! But whatever happened to the copy editor?

That was so funny! I LOL’d when I readit. Then last night woke up several times and chuckled some more. I can’t believe that they just blew that by a copy editor. But then I’ve read that most copy editors rely on proofing programs on their computers rather than acutally reading stuff these days.

Also, if you read the National Lampoon 1963 high school yearbook parody, you’ll find page after page of names like this.

They really need to be more subtle. Richard Hertz, Michael Hunt, etc.

To say nothing of: Ima Byrd and Seymour Buts

Reminds me of our Russian foreign exchange student id Junior High; I. Ben Jakinov.

Dale Matson,

That was HILARIOUS!

My goodness. Where will this end?

I am shocked, shocked I tell you that my fellow commenters would sink to these levels.

Jim Zeirke,

I have the old National Lampoon Yearbook parody you mentioned above. It should have been required reading for those newspaper dudes and dudettes who did not filter Stu and Haywood.

Silly me – I was thinking it was something in the photo, and didn’t bother to look at the caption more than to see how it described the photo.

I can’t decide now whether to laugh at the joke, or cringe at my thick-headedness…………
