12 Perfectly Punny Stories For International Joke Day!
Dear readers,
Today is International Joke Day! The oldest identified joke – an ancient Sumerian proverb featuring toilet humor – came about in 1900 BC. Shakespeare introduced the Knock-Knock joke in Macbeth in 1603. And humor has continued to expand and evolve ceaselessly, to the point where a meme featuring a YouTuber’s face edited onto a Shrek character and captioned simply, “E,” can send me into a heap of helpless giggles. (I admit, this likely says more about me than I’m ready to admit.)
