Speaking of which (and this is true) somebody recently discovered what is considered one of the world's oldest joke books. It's from 4th century AD Greece and includes a joke about a man who went to a slave dealer to complain that the slave he'd recently bought had just died. "By the gods," answers the slave's seller, "when he was with me, he never did any such thing!" That's right - it was an Ancient Greek version of Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch. I wonder if it also had "No-one expects the Spartan Inquisition!" Not quite ancient, the Romans had been in charge of Greece for centuries by then! Something similar is a major plot artefact in Lindsey Davis Roman crime novel, "Last Act in Palmyra" 39 minutes ago, Obi-Jiff Kenobi said: Ah, so the slave must have been from Norway...

Popular Post APOLLO Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Boris Johnson walks into a bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning Miss, could you please cash this cheque for me?" Cashier: "It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?" Johnson: "Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister." Cashier: "Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc I must insist on seeing ID." Johnson: “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am." Cashier: "I am sorry, Mr Johnson, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them." Johnson, "Come on please, I am begging you, please cash this cheque." Cashier: "Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque. Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?" Johnson stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank. There is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue." Cashier: "Will that be large notes or small notes , Mr Johnson?"
