Editor,

Participating in a recent exchange it came to my attention that I can't think of a single historian joke. I can think of lots of funny things students have said about history, great ironic moments in history, and even historians with immense talent for humor. I can think of doctor jokes (including specific specialty jokes) and lawyer jokes, chemist cartoons, computer jokes (What's the difference between a software salesman and a used car dealer? The used car dealer knows when he's lying), quips about economists and philosophers, social scientist duck hunting jokes, etc., ad nauseum.

But if anyone knows a good historian joke, I sure haven't heard it. I don't even know how many historians it takes to screw in a lightbulb.

If you know any historian jokes, please use the form below to share it with our readers.
