Punches Pilate is an old one-frame joke from Hatlo (anyone else remember "They'll Do It Every Time"?). :') Thanks NYer.

The only chronological record of Pilate’s appointment is found in Josephus who says:

“(Tiberius)...sent Valerius Gratus to be procurator of Judea, and to succeed Annus Rufus...When Gratus had done those things, he went back to Rome, after he had tarried in Judea eleven years, when Pontius Pilate became his successor...So Pilate, when he had tarried ten years in Judea, made haste to Rome...but before he could get to Rome, Tiberius was dead.”
