So I ran across some excerpts from one of Philogelos's joke books, they are pretty good. Anyone have any other ancient joke books?

My Personal Favorite:
When an intellectual was told by someone, "Your beard is now coming in," he went to the rear-entrance and waited for it. Another intellectual asked what he was doing. Once he heard the whole story, he said: "I'm not surprised that people say we lack common sense. How do you know that it's not coming in by the other gate?"
