Ancient Comedy

***Brian Turner*** · 13-11-2008, 11:30 AM

A man is attending to the burial of his wife, who has just died, when someone asks: "Who is it who rests in peace here?". He answers: "Me, now that I'm rid of her!"

That joke is officially 2400 years old.

There's even apparently a variation of the Dead Parrot Sketch:
