If you find flatulence humor humorous, then this 4000 year old joke is for you:
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.”
It heads the world’s oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton on Thursday.
I don’t get it.
I was unaware that the Sumerians farted. I did not know that.
I still don’t get the joke.
Did Sumerians always fart or are they just starting to fart now? I’m confused.
