To stay close to Steve, Silver Age WW decided to get a job at military intelligence as a secretary.
There’s a grueling interview process.

Oh stop tittering! That’s not what I meant!


a) Wait, so she didn’t win by being better than the other girl? She won by default?
b) Is scuba diving an important part of her job description?
c) Um, why is he giving her a diploma?
Before anyone says “but she wasn’t his secretary!”…

Yes she was. Not that we ever see her doing any actual work, now that I think about it.
In parting, I’d just like to add…

…Wonder Woman’s the kind of person who hides her house key under her welcome mat, isn’t she?

I don’t do these often, but every now and then I catch one that I just have to post
From DC’s 52, Week 13:

For some reason, my suspension of disbelief can handle that these JLAers are undercover and wearing their masks and costumes under their robes yet no-one notices (a delightfully silly thought), but the idea of Hal Jordan saying “bitch” just yanks me right out of the story.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one…
How do you make copper wire?
Give two (insert ethnic group) a penny.

I pity the first car that tries to drive over that bridge.
Incidentally, that comes from Wonder Woman #98, the first retcon of her origin. I would have scanned the entire issue due to amazing oddness, but that’d really violate DC’s copyright.
One example? Lesse… aside from the removal of WWII from the origin… you know how originally Diana has to disguise herself to participate in the contest? Well, this time Diana’s already wearing the Wonder Woman costume and is already the bestest li’l Amazon, but they still throw a contest. To make it fair, they have every other girl on the Island dress like her and wear a life-like mask.
That’s just for starters.
If you have any way of getting your hands on this, do.
