I literally got this as a chain email 30 years ago.
Subject:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd Hilarious!!!
They try and keep it pretty fresh around here.
And this is the world we got because you forgot to forward it to 30 people in the following ten seconds!
dev.null1, dev.null2, dev.null3...
The chain emails copied it out of Reader's Digest.
I'm too young to have gotten chain emails 30 years ago, but https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/courtroom.quips.html may be from that era too.
I started going on the Net about 29 years ago and I'm not sure it was already around. But what I do know is that, to my great disappointment, the list has not grown with the years.
I've seen a list with more than this. Like the question of "How far were the cars at the time of collision?"
I remember being on a joke email chain on AOL and if you didn't reply saying how funny it was you'd get blocked.
