Foreword: "During this year of the most damaging strike ever to hit Hawaii or, perhaps, any American community, it is particularly appropriate that the substantial humor of Irvin S. Cobb should be called upon to release tense nerves over the Holiday Season. ... Three years again, we offered Cobb's 'Speaking of Operations' to alleviate post-war tensions. Now we offer for your amusement this little companion volume, it being the twelfth in our series of Christmas remembrances. Our very best wishes for you and yours, Christmas 1949." Colophon in the back: "Done into this little book as a Christmas remembrance for its friends by the Commercial Printing Division, Advertiser Publishing Company, Limited. Honolulu, Hawaii, Christmas 1949." The Foreword is referring to the dock strike of 1949, one of the longest and costliest dock strikes in Hawai'ian history. Irvin S. Cobb (1876-1944) was an American author, humorist, and newspaper writer and editor. In this book, Cobb lampoons different aspects of the human body.
