In other cultures, it might mean 'Thank you, that was a wonderful meal'."īayless has found that many of the oldest written jokes were scribbled in the margins of ornate early Latin Bibles. If your child does it, you might laugh because they don't know any better. "In some cultures, to belch at the table is highly offensive. "Even something like belching has a cultural element," he says. Peter McGraw, a professor of marketing and psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, explains that cultural norms vary so widely, finding a universally funny joke is challenging. However, captive animals could be copying behaviours they have seen in us.īut not all rude jokes translate well across cultures. Some scholars point to the existence of teasing-like behaviours in primates like chimpanzees as evidence of an early evolutionary origin of humour in humans. Perhaps our ability to make light of bad situations helped us to overcome them – by joining together in laughter, we were able to reinforce our social bonds. Some researchers suggest that because humour brings us together it might have an evolutionary purpose. I'll spare you the details, as it is a little rude by today's standards, but it involved seeking the advice of a sex worker. The other man ponders the question before coming up with a solution. "Which is more fun, defecating or having sex?" This is how it starts in its 1,000-year-old format: Two men were walking along a road talking of this and that. The joke lives up to the "truly tasteless" promise of the book. She was surprised to find, almost word for word, a joke that she had been transcribing just a day earlier. Shortly after, while waiting for her train, Bayless was reading a copy of Truly Tasteless Jokes 3 – a popular joke anthology from 1983. Few had ever been translated into English before, yet many were still funny – and some even made her laugh out loud. She was looking at some of the earliest jokes written in Latin by Catholic scholars (some in excess of 1,000 years old). "Work?", Taehyung asked, sitting next to him.After months spent poring over medieval texts for her PhD, Martha Bayless made a surprising discovery. "That's good to hear", the younger said, ruffling his boyfriend's hair a bit before going to sit on the couch and look over some of the documents. "Yeah! It went really well", Taehyung informed. "How was your hangout with Jimin and uh, what was his name? Eunwoo?", Jeongguk asked. Jeongguk was quick to notice and laughed a bit before walking towards Taehyung and giving him a chaste kiss on the lips as a greeting. Blame how good the work attire looks on his boyfriend. They made eye contact and Taehyung immediately turned red. Just as he was gonna go to his room to see his boyfriend, Jeongguk came out of the hallway with some papers in his hand. Taehyung laughed at the sight but decided to just let them be so he walked in and locked the door, proceeding to go to the living room which was empty. "Whatever you say, Chim", Eunwoo said and followed Jimin's questionable house break in. "See? Now let's go get the snacks from their kitchen", Jimin said all smug before opening the door and sneaking inside the kitchen, hoping not to get caught by Jeongguk. You could see the nervous expression he had on his face. "Infiltrate Jeongguk's room and play his video games", Jimin answered proudly. Taehyung and Eunwoo looked at him confused. "You know what we should do?", Jimin asked his two best friends. "Without further delay, let's get started." I don't wanna spoil the entire thing in the intro so I'll get going now and start on my work from my job in the living room and wait 'til he arrives home from his hangout with Eunwoo and Jimin."

"I threw four of them away so he when he checks the box, he'll think I smoked a few. Later, I'll ask him to get me a certain file to look over it and the rest is pretty self explanatory if I do say so myself." I'll put this inside my drawer where I keep my important documents and files from work.

"Anyways, cigarettes have been bought as you can see. I'll destroy all of your hearts instead." I swear y'all want to ruin my relationship with him more than anyone I have ever met. "I just know you guys are going to enjoy this prank like the freaking rascals that you are. "What's up, TJ Family? Excited we finally posted?"

I prepared this fast for you sea urchins*
