History of jokes

We've all told a joke once or twice in our lives, whether it's a joke, a riddle, or a mom joke. However, very few of us consider exactly where these jokes come from and why exactly, and we love to ask why the chicken crossed the street. Any joke recorded in history is an accident rather than something done on purpose. Most printed versions of jokes are made with the intention that they will be thrown away after use. Many of the original jokes consisted of jokes about human behavior and were not taken seriously and saved for future generations. The oldest recorded joke dates back to 1900 BC and is an ancient Sumerian proverb. The second oldest joke is originated from the ancient Egyptians since 1600 BC. This joke is written on papyrus and is believed to be a dig by the current pharaoh.

Many of these jokes are phrases that we still use today, such as absent-minded professors and people with bad breath. This book is intended to be read and then repeated when the opportunity arises. When the printing press was created in the 15th century, joke books were among the first to be printed with the Bible. A joke book, published in 1470, was so popular that in the 15th century alone nearly 20 copies of the book were made. The use of cartoons in joke books was first introduced in the 19th century. The increase in global literacy rates during this time led to an increase in global purchase of joke books. The joke book remains a very popular printed book to this day. The Internet has allowed jokes and pages to be created and shared with the world. Jokes can be read for fun or used to find new jokes to entertain friends. Today is the day to introduce your child to the joy that a book of jokes can bring and maybe that books that give joy in general can bring.

Origin of Reading is Funny Day

If you would like to understand the origin of Reading is Funny Day, you should study more about the history of a joke. The oldest joke is an ancient Sumerian proverb until 1900 BC. The second oldest can be dated to 1600 BC and it derived from the ancient Egyptians. This shows that throughout the ages, and regardless of our differences in culture and way of life, one thing we have long loved to do is laugh out loud! You may be wondering what jokes the ancient Egyptians saw. How do you entertain a bored pharaoh?

It wasn't until the 4th or 5th century AD that we began to see collections of jokes. It is very interesting to use a lot of these jokes such as those about people with bad breath and the absent-minded professor. At the time, the book was intended so that you could read it and then repeat the joke whenever the opportunity arose.

When the printing press was invented in the 15th century, you probably already knew that one of the first books to be printed was the Bible. But did you know that one of the other first books to be printed was the anthology of jokes we just mentioned?

It didn't take long for the comic books to come out. Their popularity has been unquestionable ever since. In fact, a joke book released in 1470 with about 20 editions in the 15th century alone! Today, there are many books that do not reach nearly 20 copies published!

Joke books are still as popular today as they were back then. The way they are consumed may vary, as so many people read online content and e-books, but it's unlikely we'll see the day when jokes are no longer popular.
