LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests that toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today.

It 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."



Those Sumerians....they're so damn funny! Umm....I don't get it. It seems like an observation to me. Not so much a joke.

I thought it might be a "Why did the camel cross the road?" joke.

Q: How many nomads does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: What's a light bulb? Oh...is that the name of the concubine in the neighbor's tent?
