More Roman Jokes

versions by Mary Beard (second one slightly adapted):

A man says to his sex-crazed wife, "What shall we do tonight -- have dinner or have sex?". "Whichever you like," she replied, "but there's no bread."


Three men -- a professor, a barber and a baldman -- were going on a long journey and had to camp out at night. To guard against theft, they took turns keeping watch. They drew straws to determine the order. The barber took the first shift, but got bored. So to pass the time, he shaved the head of the professor -- then woke him up to take his turn. The professor got up, rubbed his head and found that he had no hair. "What an idiot that barber is," he said, "he's woken up baldy instead of me."
