Yet the persistence, the long life of “the joke” that transcends time, raises even more interesting questions about how such jokes bend around time. And it’s worth thinking about the persistence of misogyny, racism, homophobia and so on in their upgraded fashion, their new configurations. Their targets remain the same, their modes of manifestation not-so-much, except, I would hazard, in the long-lived joke.
