I don’t understand the “Jop Title” joke.
@John Simpson
It’s not like someone is going to explain it to you. If you want to understand the joke, figure it out.
@ John —
Its a joke about the era..And that it was done with a typewriter….They couldn’t use spellcheck and white out wasn’t invented yet…

Al Jolson was white singer and entertainer. He starred in the movie “The Jazz Singer”, which was the first “talkie”. It was a musical, and in the number “Mammie”, he appeared in black face makeup. (Mammie is probably his best known song today.) Today, black face makeup is considered racially insensitive and inappropriate.
