Jokes have been a part of human culture since at least one thousand nine hundred BC.
According to research conducted by Dr Paul McDonald of the University of Wolverhampton, a fart joke from ancient Sumer is currently believed to be the known as world's oldest joke.
Britain's oldest joke, meanwhile, is a thousand-year-old double-entendre that can be found in the Codex Exoniensis.
A recent discovery of a document called Philogelos (The Laughter Lover) gives us an insight into ancient humour.
