Did people do this 2,000 years ago? No, not have sex. I’m talking about dirty snow sculptures.

History leaves out a lot of these kinds of details, like who penned the first fart gag. Did people in ancient Greece write their buddy’s names and phone number on the bathroom stall? Of course not, they didn’t have telephones back then, butthey might have had stone mail.

That old gag.

How did the Great Pyramid become the best one for example?

Assistant: “You know Pharaoh, we could poll people and find out which pyramid truly is the best.”
Pharaoh: “How would we do that?”
Assistant: “The internet silly”

Of course that was the last thing the assistant said. He was killed for talking about something that didn’t exist. I’m kidding. The Pharaoh whacked him for calling him silly.

What about the jokes?

One Phoenician is walking down the street, stops another and says “what’s that on your toga?” then places the pointing finger on the person’s chest. I think you get where this one goes. Who knows when that old gag started out but I am guessing it was before the age of napkins.

Did racial or religious jokes exist back then?

“Hey Ferdinand did you hear the one about the Jew, the Catholic, and the Inquisition? Man, it’s a killer!”

Judging from how history has played out, I’m going to bet the farm that we have always done this.

That same history we were taught in school didn’t answer any questions either. We learned that the past was a magical time of dragons and everyone was happily farming. In other places giant people wore togas and meet in big buildings to decide on things. Then they would pick Christians up and eat them like animal crackers, legs first so they don’t run away. Meanwhile, a man named after a cartoon character wrote two parts of a trilogy but tragically died before the third installment could be written.

We never may know the answer to who wrote the first fart joke or how well it was received, no pun intended.
