Thread Name: BS: World's oldest joke - 1900 BC
Subject: RE: BS: World's oldest joke - 1900 BC
Many years ago, I read that this 'joke' had been found on a wall at Pompeii:

Barber:" Sir, did you have a red shirt when you came in?"
Customer: "No, why?"
Barber: "Then I'm afraid I have cut your throat."

I have NO idea about the veracity of that one.
