Jokes Even Older Than Jay Leno's
Okay, bear with me for a minute.
The University of Wolverhampton — which, as far as I can tell, is a real place — recently announced that the oldest known joke in world is 4,000 year old and from Sumeria. It goes a little like this…
Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap.
Classic. (I'm pretty sure John Kerry tried to pull that one off in 2004, screwed it up and then ended up losing the coveted flatuphilia demographic.)
Anyway, the CC Insider claims to have unearthed some jokes that are even oldester. Among them…
A Pithycanthropus Erectus, a Cro-Magnon and a Neanderthal walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "What do you guys think of John McCain?"
What can I say? I'm a sucker for Pithycanthropus Erectus humor.

@iowagradstudent: Hell it's a fart joke. I'm a card carrying flatuphiliac. I have a good feeling no one clicked on the cake fart link I found on CC's "other" web site. I repeat that b/c it is utterly gross, offensive, pornographic, an alibi, yet delicious for breakfast. Goes well with milk. How great is it that in ancient times they joke about bodily functions?
Risky Rev.: I'm glad at least one person found this funny. *grins*
They say that humor depends on the culture, and that the better you know a culture the better you understand its humor. I guess I don't know much about the Sumerians, because I don't get this joke. Some of the others listed here, though, are still funny (though others are more riddles than jokes): http://uktv.co.uk/dave/item/aid/604717
Also, I notice these are all Western jokes. Aren't there some good Chinese or Indian ones? I bet there are jokes in the Mahabharata. I know there are in the Zhuangzi.
Umm… on second thought, that video is wrong. If you can take it down and let people find it from the CC link if they choose to. I don't like cake farts anymore.
I cannot express my outrage at the lack of discussion of the oldest joke in the world. A fart joke. If you the article, you get to learn about the world of cake farts. There, they link you a video of a cake fart. It is not for the faint of heart. It is gross. I just found it. I can't contain myself. You must watch the cake fart. It has nude, naked, butt farting in a cake. And this damn blog led me down this utterly disturbing path which I am grateful for. The girl farts in a cake. Her butt farts in the cake in the camera. This is the culmination of the worlds oldest joke with modern technology. Uncensored cake farts. Although, this might get censored but you guys gave out the link!!! Sorry in advance. i THINK RATED R (MAYBE NC17) CAKE FARTS 08'

So I kinda got hung up on this cake fart phenomenon. Political talk at work today was…. par for the course. Obama. McCain. Cake Farts. The power of the blog knows no boundaries.
The King Tut exhibit had hieroglyphics of some family in a talent agent's office engaged in incest and bestiality with a piece of cow dung being offered to the Pharoe as a gift.
I loved learning about girls farting in cakes. You see, some woman takes a cake and farts in it. She farts in a fucking cake. And you eat it. You eat the cake she farts in. Or she eats it. The cake fart.
Cake farts. They're warm. They're moist. Girls rip hot ones in the pastries. Try one today. Cake farts.
