"In the late 1800s, archeologists in the Sumerian city of Nippur (modern-day Iraq) uncovered a 4,000-year-old tablet with what appeared to be the world's oldest documented bar joke."
"Roughly translated, the joke reads: 'A dog walks into a bar and says, "I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one."' The meaning of the joke — if it even is a joke — has been lost. But after a Reddit thread revived the debate, the public-radio podcast Endless Thread (which usually does stories focused on Reddit) decided to look into it, and they produced a two-part series. Part I is about the joke, and Part II goes into the origins of humor...."The top comment over there is another ancient-times bar joke: "A Roman walks into a bar, holds up 2 fingers and says '5 Beers Please,'" which is responded to with another Roman joke: "Listen, barkeep, if I'd wanted to order two or more, I would have ordered two or more!! Now bring me my martinus!"
I want to listen to the podcast. Some Redditors are discussing it as if the Sumerians would equate walking into a bar through the door and walking into a bar by missing the door and hitting the exterior wall. The dog did the latter sort of walking-into because he couldn't see, and then he announced that he would open one eye.
So it was like the old 3 Stooges running joke, "I can't see! I can't see! I got my eyes closed"?
But why was it a dog? And why open only one eye? Is this a penis joke? Like the one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store?
As I said, I will listen to the podcast.
