Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.

Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren’t they?

      Wouldn’t the second one make more sense as an upside down pyramid?

        Because the first digit in each of the numbers is larger than the second digit it would be the triple inverted pyramid as shown, where the larger numbers correspond to larger sub-pyramids and larger digits correspond to the larger side of the sub-pyramid.

        The colored text and marks on the pyramids are to show that.

          I imagined, but I was too lazy to actually look at the colors lol. Thanks for explaining :)
