Sumer had the World's Oldest Recorded Joke

Those Sumerians not only nurtured and expanded irrigation, writing, and government, they also wrote down our first known joke.  I can't tell you what it is because your parents wouldn't approve but I can tell you it involved passing gas.

Remember that if the ancient Sumerians could tell jokes so can you.  Anyone who posts a joke (Parentally approved) on their blog before October first gets 5 points extra credit. (And 8th graders this means you, too.)
