puffery. In these braggy cards, the
losers tried to impress the folks back home. |
|

Haw,
haw—we’re on vacation and a bit of smut is
just OK! Besides, our HoJo has running water, so we can scoff at

|
| Corrections |
 |
Perhaps to make one’s
own vacation wildnesses seem less egregious by comparison (that extra
slice o' pie at HoJo! Peeking into that house of ill repute in Tijuana!).
