Hey lt. – remember that time that was just the other day? You know, when we were sitting peacefully next to each other on the couch, and you lunged at me? Remember? Remember how you BIT ME?
I have a bruise. It’s yellow.
Naughty lt. No beer for you.

Thicky mums go missing

In the search for the origins of the mum joke, I have found what I consider to be one of the earliest mum jokes in print. It is my assertion that Euripides (c.484-406BC) was an early master of the art. Take, for example, his play ‘Ion’. In response to an instruction from Ion to, basically, piss off, Creusa says:
“Keep your advice for your mother, wherever she is!”
How good is that? Like, not only does your mother desperately need advice (i.e. she’s a thicky), but she’s also in some unknown place, probably with some unknown person, doing something … you know, something. Yeah, you know.
Now, to find Aeschylus’ version of “So’s your face” …

But there was an impromptu beers… with the captain and Lt. in attendance. Topics of conversation? All I really recall was arm hair – who has the most in terms of density and/or length? Mothers – they really burp a lot, don’t they? Lt.’s driving did not cause anyone to be maimed, but if anyone were to be maimed, it would have been me. What would you put in a cocktail if the main ingredient was apple and vanilla puree? Grand Marnier is good.
Lt… anything to add?
