Book of Oldest Jokes Has Dead Parrot Ancestor
I've written about the world's oldest recorded joke, which, truth be told, wasn't very funny. (Guess you had to be there or be an ancient Egyptian or both.) Now a new translation of a fourth century Greek joke book has a story similar in structure to the "Dead Parrot" sketch of Monty Python fame.
