The Vegetable Quandary
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A delightfully humorous turn-of-the-century comic postcard from the Mary Evans Picture Library brings a chuckle to vegetable lovers and linguistic enthusiasts alike. The image features an amusing scene of a man, with a quizzical expression and a turnip in hand, staring at a sign that reads, "Hang Your Head if You Can't Identify These Veg!" Beneath the sign, three vegetables - a turnip, a bean, and a rhubarb - are displayed, each with a humorous double meaning caption. The turnip, with its phallic shape, is labeled with the pun, "What's long and firm and keeps the doctor away?" The bean, with its suggestive shape, is labeled with the double entendre, "What's long, green, and hangs in the kitchen?" And the rhubarb, with its red color and tart taste, is labeled with the playful innuendo, "What's red, juicy, and makes you pucker?" This comic postcard, likely produced by the renowned British humorist Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of wordplay and the enduring appeal of vegetables in popular culture. With its clever use of language and visual humor, it invites us to appreciate the double meanings and hidden jokes that can be found in the most unexpected places, from our gardens to our greengrocer's stands. So, the next time you're at the market, take a moment to ponder the turnip's phallic shape, the bean's suggestive form, and the rhubarb's rosy hue - and remember, vegetables are not just for eating, they're for laughing at too!
