Listen up, buttercup! This "joke" suggests the Romans, who were famous for conquering everything, suddenly stopped because they ran out of "conkers." Now, conkers are chestnuts used in a British children's game. See, the joke is that the end of Roman conquests wasn't some big strategic decision, but a lack of kids' game ammo. You are about as sharp as a marble.
