    “I don’t think it was particularly funny, I think it’s puerile,” Truss told Irish broadcaster RTÉ

      The world’s oldest recorded joke, from 1900 BC, was a fart joke.

      It’s been 4000 years, it’s probably time to just admit that we as a species are never going to mature past this.

    Her mini budget wasn’t funny either, so I guess it balances out.

    Humour is subjective. Her awful performance and insane budget were not subjective.

    In the long list of “thing Liz Truss is wrong about”, this is one of the biggest.

    Many Britons say that they can’t afford lettuce is not funny. And it’s not ‘puerile.’
