Actually found the joke funny .... the only one that I can remember is one in Latin, think it was some kinda (sorry about that, it's Canadian) oracular prediction give to king something-or-other: translates as "you will go you will return never in war will you perish" ... not as much fun as yours .... If you have time on your hands, I recommend "The Story of English": Robert McCrum, William Cran, and Robert MacNeil ... think you will enjoy it.
