Another joke will be uploaded every day, with text, translation, and explanatory notes, at least for the next year -- I'm not sure there are more than 365 that survive and are even remotely funny. So that users in North America may start their day with an ancient joke, each entry will be uploaded shortly after midnight: #2 (for November 2nd) will go up in the next hour or two.
