It’s a hilarious read. He depicts himself as such a ridiculous and goofy loser it’s hard to believe that he wrote it.

He needs more memes.

This joke comes from ancient Sumer, a civilization that was ancient even to the Babylonians and Egyptians, older than the first dynasties of China. It’s a 4,000 year old joke as reported in this piece from WBUR — some of the humor has maybe gone stale over time.
