I've never been good with jokes but i have marked some exams which were a tonic at the time. And these are not the urban myth types - seen with me very own eyes<br>
<br>
well i can only remember one and the other was seen by a colleague - although it does fall into the urban myth category<br>
<br>
Discussing a (not quite so) well known battle.<br>
<br>
'Hanibal's brother Margo exposed himself and took the Romans from behind'<br>
<br>
'Ephialtes allowed the Persians to use hi back passage which had previously only been used by goats and sheep'<br>
<br>
Both (except for the sex of Hannibal's brother) quite right if rather indelicately (and hilariously) put. After three days of no sleep its amazing how close you can come to killing yourself laughing. <p>It is an unscrupulous intellect that does not pay Antiquity its due reverence - Erasmus of Rotterdam</p><i></i>
