...only page of this parody which elicited a sustained laugh from me wasn't supposed to: it was Life's first full-page ad, boasting a two-inch deep, white-on-red Life logo, topped by the words, "A good ribbing?" Down at the bottom, it says, "Let it never be said that Life couldn't appreciate a good ribbing. If that were true, we would never have taken this ad.
