Ten humorous stories in history

According to foreign media reports, the British "Daily Mirror" recently published 10, the oldest known jokes: there are both funny farce to predict when it will blow, and mysterious stories about Egyptian female mummies. Among the jokes left by these very old people, the oldest can be traced back to BC 1900. Dr. Bohr MacDonald, an associate professor at Wolverhampton University in England, pointed out: "It can be said that all kinds of modern humorous works originated from these oldest jokes in history. There is a common policy between them-I hope to ridicule taboo topics and express dissatisfaction.
