It compiled some of the oldest jokes known to history. It seems the question-and-answer formula was the preferred mode of joke delivery then, as i believe it remains to be the case today.
Here's a couple:
Egypt 1600BC (I presume found on a papyrus by worker adobes): "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? Sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile - and urge the pharaoh to go fishing."
Sumeria/Iraq 1900BC: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap,"
Britain 10th Century: "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? A key."
Popular themes were identified to be flatulence, and anything to do with women or sexual topics.
Haha. No pictures here. Well, maybe just a fitting one.
