I’ve been reading a rather interesting book lately, that covers the origin and metamorphosis of many common words and phrases.

According to Mark Forsyth’s “The Etymologicon”, the oldest recorded joke in the English language is..

What hangs at a man’s thigh and wants to poke the hole that it’s often poked before?

A key.

A dick joke from the 10th century! I love it!
