'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From my grandmother's obit:
She majored in Fine Arts at Ohio State University and joined the Women's Army Corps during World War II, serving as cartographer. She created "Yolanda Yardbird"-the female version of Sad Sack-for the corps, and it was depicted weekly across the globe from the Army newspapers of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.

Awesome!
That is so cool, GC!
She sounds great!
Okay, so my grandfather was in the Navy, not the Army, and it was during WWII, but my dad's not sure what else he remembers about it (he was born in '39, so pretty young). Very interesting. I'll have to push him to think about it more.
Gillette ad from the Great Depression:
“I didn’t get the job”
HE’D counted on landing the job—but he missed out. Again he’ll have to “stall” the landlord, the grocer and all the rest. One thing stood between him and a weekly pay check. His wife is somewhat reluctant to tell him. He doesn’t realize that a fresh, close shave is important in getting and holding a job.
Bummer.
I have an aunt named Gillette.
We don't call her that.

Ugh. Why do I need a job again?

I blame the media.
I blame The Man.
Yeah! The Man is holding me...
Wait. I got distracted.
