An Ancient Greek Joke
Γραμματικοῦ θυγάτηρ ἔτεκεν φιλότητι
μιγεῖσα παιδίον ἀρσενικόν, θηλυκόν, οὐδέτερον.
A grammarian’s
daughter, having 'known' a man, gave birth to a child which was masculine,
feminine, and neuter. (translated by W. R. Paton)
Taken from the Greek Anthology 9.489 and attributed to Palladas
