Poking things with sticks traces back to 20-million years ago, right after the extinction of the dinosaurs. It began when a caveman got a stick and starting poking dinosaur corpses. Another caveman saw this and wanted to play. Unfortunately, he didn't have a stick so he tried to steal the stick from the other caveman, so the caveman impaled the stick into the other caveman's brain, killing him. The caveman then started poking the freshly killed body.

  • Poking things with sticks traces back to 20-million years ago, right after the extinction of the dinosaurs. It began when a caveman got a stick and starting poking dinosaur corpses.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a stick so he tried to steal the stick from the other caveman, so the caveman impaled the stick into the other caveman's brain, killing him. The caveman then started poking the freshly killed body. During the Medieval times, stick poking faced a temporary decline. A knight named Sir Pokes-A-Lot has been known during this time for poking slain dragons with his sword. Thus began the new fad, sword poking. This did not last long. This caused the ban on swords worldwide and left people without anything fun to do during their spare time. Sometime later, television was invented for the amusement of lazy people and computers for nerds. The average idiots of society found a way to entertain themselves by rediscovering their long-lost passion for poking random objects with sticks. And thanks to its copious amounts of drunkards, stick poking slowly became America's national pastime.
