HA HA HA HA!!! Love it!
Those bastards!
Newly discovered Sumerian joke:
Q: How many Akkadians does it take to light a lamp?
A: None. The Akkadians, in their ignorance, pray to Enlil for deliverance from the curse of darkness.
From this story on Yahoo News:
"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.'"
Those zany Sumerians! What a laff riot!
OK...Did you hear about the newlywed couple who didn't know the difference between vaseline and putty? All of their windows fell out.
This is a joke, right?...
The context makes it even better!

That, S of G, is my new favorite quotation. I love it...and so true.
"Every joke is a tiny revolution." George Orwell.
...AND the wait in the hallway outside the Lady's Room on the S.S. Loll 'n Crawl.
...the corduroy pillowcases? They're making headlines all over town.
Heehee! That was a good 'un. So, did you hear the one about....?
