Roman Counting

A Roman walks into a bar.

He holds up two fingers and says, "Give me five beers."

Explanation

Experiment

The humor is in the fact that Romans used to count with their fingers differently than we do today. When a Roman held up two fingers, it meant five. So, the Roman is literally asking for five beers, not two.

this sucks your are an idiot

dhhvvvvvjjjjjjjjsssssssssss

noah, do you even get the joke tho

I love this joke. Picture Steve Martin in his prime telling it to a crowd of 5000. I will be stealing this and using it.

Romans actually drank wine instead of beer. So this joke isn’t really accurate.
