I said 1900 because ethnic humor was paramount. I
have a book somewhere written in 1902 titled '500
Modern Jokes' and 80% them are about kikes, wops,
pollocks, N-word, and so on. Jokes about black people
stealing chickens and watermelons were apparently
hilarious, the book is full of them. These jokes were
state of the art a hundred years ago, knee slappingly
funny. Reading them now they're almost meaningless.
