World's oldest joke traced back to ancient Sumerians...
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 10:39 AM by Wetzelbill
It was when a young John McCain was running for leader of the city-state Lippar, and they were nearing war with their rival Eridu, and at a Town Hall event McCain sang "Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb, Eridu."

Images of him doing it were chiseled into stone tablets known as "YuToobs" and disseminated across the country where voters concluded that he was a dangerous moron.

World's oldest joke traced back to 1900 BC

7. You can't explain McCain
Not even his own campaign knows what to do with the guy half the time.

13. He says that
He's kind of like the dude in Highlander. He has a cover story for every century that he's lived in.
