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."
Well. There it is.
:p :p

And what a funny joke that was! :-) Those Iraqis, always a barrel of hoohahs. :lmao:

I was being slightly silly.
They are saying that it has never happened that a wife has not farted on her husband's lap. Throw me a bone if I am incorrect. :-)

Actually, as hot as it is here, my cerebral cells are fried.
I don't get it myself.

Let's just go with my "take". It's a well-held secret that women never pass gas or they would like the guys to think they have not. I think the joke is spoofing on that myth.

Well!
You two are going to have 'fart joke' charts and graphs, pie charts, brooing chemistry sets and Tesla coils before too long. :rotf:
I just thought it was "silly". :innocent:
