Jokes with a beard

Expression "joke with a beard" is usually used for old, not-funny-anymore jokes. But one professor William Berg has translated 1600 years old book of jokes from ancient Greek into modern English. So they're jokes with a reaaaaally long beard. What's surprising that the topics are largely the same: farts, sex, driving (the chariott) and ugly, annoying wifes. Same things, in short. Some things don't change, do they?
