RE: #13944
On the way to the bar in our college home the tiles read, "veni. vedi, bibi".
Loosely translated "I came, I saw I drank".

An intellectual, falling sick, had promised to pay the doctor if he recovered.
When his wife nagged at him for drinking wine while he had a fever, he said: “Do you want me to get healthy and be forced to pay the doctor?”

When an intellectual was told by someone, “Your beard is now coming in,” he went to the rear-entrance and waited for it. Another intellectual asked what he was doing. Once he heard the whole story, he said: “I’m not surprised that people say we lack common sense. How do you know that it’s not coming in by the other gate?”

When you're done laughing (or not), you might be interested to learn that you've just read jokes that were told by inhabitants of the Roman Empire. These jokes (and 263 more) were found in a book called the Laughter Lover, or Philogelos. The Philogelos (or Φιλ γελως) was written over 1700 years ago.

We should rename this thread "the ancient joke thread." Just to warn people before they actually click on it.

And speaking of thread...

Policeman stops a guy running with scissors.
"Hey, where are you running with those scissors?" asks policeman.
The man replied, "To hospital. They just called and told me my mother in-law’s life is hanging by a thread"
