August 16 Tell a Joke Day is observed annually. This day will be filled with smiles and much laughter from morning till night as everyone shares their favorite jokes. Tell a Joke Day has been celebrated worldwide since jokes began. You know, all the way back in 1900 B.C.
Jokes have been a part of human culture since at least 1900 BC. According to research conducted by Dr Paul McDonald of the University of Wolver Hampton, a fart joke from ancient Sumer is currently believed to be the world's oldest known joke. Britain's oldest joke, meanwhile, is a 1,000-year-old double-entendre that can be found in the Codex Exoniensis.
A joke has synonyms which include: Gag, Prank, Quip, Jab, and Jest.
On this day get some of the best joke book and spend your lunch hour reading it.
