Everett seeing a horse car for the first time in 12 years (1906-12-27)

I feel like there must be a layer to this joke I'm not getting.

Like, who is this targeted at? People who overestimate the sophistication of their city? Surely there must be more to it than that.

I've seen all of this jay town I want to see!!

We've since lost this term, except for in the word "jaywalking". It means A dull or ignorant person

People 118 years later: "please bring back any kind of trams, well accept horses, no problem!"

What a bunch of rubes!

Times have changed, we've completely done away with the horse and the driver in the big city

Quite a foul mouth there, Everett.
