'World's oldest joke' traced back to 1900 BC
Jokes and humour have apart of human culture as far back as we have documented history. It is absurd to think there has not always been humour only because life was much harder say only 100 years ago. Most doctors and specifically psychologists agree that laughing truly is one the best medicines we can produce ourselves.
The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests toilet humour was as popular with the ancients as it is today, British academics say.
The joke is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq, and goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
It heads the world's Oldest Top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton.
A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second. "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish."
The oldest British joke dates back to the 10th century and reveals the bawdy face of the Anglo-Saxons. "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? A key."
Doesn’t matter how old we get, there will always be days like these!
Window: This is exactly why you should never throw anything away. This looks like a basement window that has been rotten in garage for a few years, and because of this person willingness not to throw away what some people might call garbage they were able to fix there broken van window with the old window. PURE GENIUS!
I wonder if this escalator gave any kids the creeps!
Snappy answers to stupid questions
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."
The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
