They didn't include the punchline to first joke, who does that? Someone asked the author of the paper though https://twitter.com/Tenthcentury/status/15071686222

Two men were walking along a road talking of this and that. "What do you think," says one. "Which is more fun, defecating or having sex?"
The guy says, "Let's ask that prostitute, she's done one as often as the other."
- lqet 4y agoEither I am not getting the punchline behind the punchline, the prostitute is not very successful, or she has serious bowel problems.
- pvaldes 4y agoOr is being paid for...
- blowski 4y agoYou had to be there, I guess.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoIt's a typical joke popular with the Carthaginians that the Romans all suffered from chronic constipation.
- 867-5309 4y agothat would be the opposite
- bryanrasmussen 4y agohmm, yeah, it's hard to keep these old Carthaginian jokes straight here.
- dotancohen 4y agoIs that so? That makes Incontinentya Buttocks even funnier.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoYou might be overestimating how often prostitutes have sex.
- pasquinelli 4y agoif i were a roman prostitute i'd have my clients use the back door to avoid getting pregnant.
- ranguna 4y agoAh makes sense, that indeed makes it less unfunny
- kadoban 4y agoIs it me or is that punchline not even crass? The wording the article uses to allude to it is equally crass, as far as I'm concerned (so what was the point of not including it?).
- OJFord 4y agoAgreed, I don't know what 'it involves asking a sex worker' spares us over that. Nor why we want to be spared in an article on 'jokes that have made people laugh for thousands of years' even if it were worse!
- revolvingocelot 4y agoThat's a fuckin' terrible joke -- or it's a good joke, not yet finished! Let's continue: Upon being asked, the prostitute laughs in their faces. "Either you two don't know how to fuck, or I don't know how to shit!"
- bil7 4y agogold
- raldi 4y agoInstant classic. The ancients would’ve loved it.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoThis reminded me of another one: What’s the difference between a corn farmer with Tourette’s and a hooker with dysentery? One shucks between fits.
- noduerme 4y agoLove it. Even modern Roman guys would be afraid of that ending ;)
- pasquinelli 4y agowhat was the birth control situation?
- Enginerrrd 4y agoThat IS a good joke.
