NEARLY everyone, either in reading or in
conversation, comes upon Jokes or wit
ticisrns put forward as original, when he is
sure that they have been known to him be-
fore in some form. In fact, it has been
claimed that there are only three or four, or
at most seven, original Jokes from which all
others come. While not much of the an
clients writings on wit has been preserved,
still several have been found and picked out
BY various authors, among which are the fol-
lowing:
The first is the prototype of the joke of the
rich man and his son. The rich man says to
his son that when he was boy he did not
waste his money in extravagances, as the son
admittedly did Then the son answers,
GBut YOU did not have a rich old father like
me- Plutarch is father of this Joke, as far as
we can go now; but it is probable that it
goes back even further. In Plutarch, Diony
sius, reproving his son for bad conduct, says,
3You never knew me do so.'-"No,' re-
piled the youth; but you hadn't King for
father" And you won't have son
King" said the monarch.
MANY Jokes are made on the fact that if
man steals little he is disgraccd and goes to
prison, whereas if he steals largely the public
adnlircs his skill. Democritus saw a thief
taken to prison. poor mani" said he.
@Why didn't YOU steal a great deal, and then
you could have sent Others to Jail?'

Philip of AIaccdon was told by the Olynth-
