“Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was assaulted.”

I have to tell you...

Right now, I'm watching Monty Python's Personal Best: Terry Jones' Favorite Sketches on KQED, and they just told that joke.

It was part of the Funniest Joke Ever Told sketch, where a man writes a joke, dies laughing from it, his wife finds him, sees the paper with the joke, reads it and dies laughing too. The British military find the joke, have a team assigned to translate it into German where each member is given one word only, then they read it on the battlefield killing Germans left and right. The Germans start a joke mission of their own, and when they finally broadcast their joke to the English, the joke is “Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was assaulted.”
