The University of Wolverhampton study of ancient humor has released a list of the Top 10 Oldest Jokes (here are the funniest three):
1. - “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial: a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap”Sumerian Proverb, 1900 - 1600BC.
2. - “How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boat load of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.”The Ancient Egyptian Westcar Papyrus, 1600BC.
3. - “Augustus was touring the Empire and noticed a man in the crowd who bore a striking resemblance to himself. Intrigued, he asked: ‘Was your mother at one time in service at the Palace?’ ‘No, your highness,’ he replied, ‘but my father was.’”Emperor Augustus, 63BC - AD29.

Download and enjoy.

Can’t think of a Father’s Day gift this year? Well think no more: for just $49.95 you can get dad his very own Uroclub– a cleverly designed, hollowed-out 7-iron, allowing him to pee on the golf course, while no one is the wiser.
“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” (Loren Bouchard, H. Jon Benjamin) - perhaps one of the funniest shows ever to air on [adult swim]. Already done with its first season, and perhaps already done with its last season - it looks like [adult swim] may not pick “Lucy” up for a second season. Perhaps because it is a little too controversial at times: DJ Jesus (the second coming) and his love interest Lucy (the Daughter of the Devil) live the 20-something hipster life with their friend Judas, while Lucy’s father makes regular attempts to overtake the world. Plus a never-ending supply of priest jokes.
The credits of “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” are funnier than an entire season of “Family Guy.”

I planned on submitting this fine Photoshop project below, until I discovered that you have to use stupid Facebook Graffiti to do all of your artwork. Dammit!
