Humour journal, entry #5

What else is there to say, really? The video says it all. Clearly some people don't learn from history. But what really did it for me is the Greeks hiding in the horse. Nice touch.

It's not funny because they're making fun of the people who let them by. It's funny because of the concept. Sometimes an idea alone is funny enough to carry a joke. In this case, the Trojan horse - and the thought of filling it with Greek soldiers - is completely absurd in the context of the twenty-first century. The lesson? Bisociation can be funny, especially when combining the old and new.
