Just the punchline to this one;
‘Pardon me boss, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes’
Full joke;
The Romans, in an effort to keep up with the speedier Egyptian boats, build a super long Long Boat with hundreds of slaves to row it.
On it’s maiden voyage, the Roman captain stands at the rear of the ship, but there is a problem because the slaves at the front are so far away they can’t hear the beat of the bong at the back of the ship which gives them the rhythm to row to.
The Captain is not to be defeated by this and he gets a much larger bong, but the slaves still can’t here it.
The captain decides to move the bong to the middle of the ship but it is so heavy they can’t move it. He orders a slave to be killed, they place the bong on his chest and start to drag it to the middle of the ship.
At this point a general turns up and asks the captain what on earth they are doing.
‘We’re dragging a bong on the chest of a slave and the sun is in the sky’
Both punchlines need to be sung 😀
