We Don’t Get It.

Researchers have traced the world’s oldest joke to what is now Southern Iraq. The joke – which originated in about 1900 BC – really counts as more of saying and goes something like this: “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.” Now, if only we could find someone to explain it… [Reuters]

You’re looking for someone on this site to explain hetero humor? That’s optimistic.

Ancient hetero humor, no less.

Still, it’s a notch above Larry the Cable Guy.

you guys are missing the point. What it says is that ancient women always fart when sitting on their husbands (is that a queef reference?).

sometimes you just can’t be too glad to be gay.

Is it really the world’s oldest joke if it’s not funny? Also, I’m sure someone told a joke long before that. They should say the world’s oldest recorded joke or world’s oldest known joke.
