How did they cut up the Roman Empire?

With a pair of Caesars!


Shall I get my coat (or should that be toga?)

Bodvoc - Forget your coat or toga, go for the knife proof vest, with a 'joke' like that I think you will receive points, lots of them, and very sharp ones, just as Caesar did!   :d

Reaches for coat before he's swept away in the ensuing torrent of puns from the sharp witted members

Caesar's wife made a stew and sent a bowl to Mark Anthony hoping he'd let all his friends know how good it was but it was so spicy he rushed round to Caesar's house and confiscated it.

Yes ... he came to seize her curry not to praise it!

why not an ACTUAL Roman joke?

Puer: Cur hi homines, pater, currunt?
Pater: Certant de argenteo calice
Puer: Et quis accipiet?
Pater: Primus
Puer: Cur igitur ceteri currunt?

Son: Father, why do those men run?
Father: They compete for the silver cup.
Son: And who will receive [the cup]?
Father: He who is first.
Son: So, why keep the others running?

Oh those WILD Romans, what a hoot!

True story. When I first encountered Sushi for sale in the UK, it was in Fortnum & Masons. With a name such as 'Togo," I thought, "This must be authentic Japanese stuff."  :-\
It was not until later that I realised it was "to go."  :-[

A Roman walks into a bar and holds up two fingers.

"Five beers, please."

Another Roman walks into the bar. "I'll have a martinus, please."

"Don't you mean a martini?" said the barman.

"No, I just want the one."

..... I'll get my cloak ......

The Soviet Union. Moscow. Two in the morning.

A series of loud knocks on the door of the Security Chief of the Soviet Union, second only to Marshall Stalin.

Who is there?  What do you want? Do you know who lives here?

My name is not important.  I come to seize Beria, not to praise him!

Near Hastings, 1066. King Harold is reviewing the skills of the Saxon warriors. The slingers are incredibly accurate and the javelinmen hit the target every time. However one of the archers is absolutely hopeless. Harold turns to his right-hand-man and says, "Slingers and javelinmen are great, but watch that archer closely; he'll have someone's eye out!"
