Okay, some of us are kinda "slow"...So, I relate not a Roman Joke, but a recent Roman Prank.
Our illustrious Praetor urbanis, Victor "Breccae dicaces" (Mr. Smarty Pants) sent me a preview copy of the Annals before he releases them on the Kalends of May...for review. I start reading them, and realize that the only corrections needed were where he had my name written...Lucius Vitellius Triarius Calvus. I informed him that I had no Calvus in my name...He chuckled and said, "I know that."
Triarius Calvus = "Triarius the Bald"
For those of you that might have received a copy of these Annals, you got the ***UNOFFICIAL*** copy.
A "shining" example of Roman Humor. Thanks Victor...old buddy, old pal...vengeance is mine! I'll get you back!
Muwahahahahahaha!
(With an evil laugh, Triarius buffs his head, spotlights Victor by reflection in the sun, and departs the forum to develop secret plans to raid the PU offices and exact his revenge...)
