Lighting oil lamps
#1
Just to prove they're not all about Batavii (sorry boys), what we came up with at the pub last night:


Q: How many slaves does it take to light an oil lamp?

A: Ummm... dunno, never noticed.


Q: How many praetorians does it take to light an oil lamp?

A: One hundred. One to light the lamp, one to kill the Emperor, and ninety-eight to find a new Emperor.


Q: How many slaves does it take to light an oil lamp in 200 AD?

A: Just one. But in the great days of the Republic, a thousand slaves would have lit a thousand lamps at our merest whim!!


Q: How many barbarii does it take to light an oil lamp?

A: One, as long as you can wait all day for him to rub the sticks together.


Q: How many barabarii does it take to light an oil lamp?

A: None. We're expecting a bit much for barbarians to use modern technology, aren't we?


Q: How many Batavii does it take to light an oil lamp?

A: Two. One to light the lamp, and the other to make up ridiculous stories about swimming across rivers in armour.
