Phyllis Diller kept Americans in stitches throughout her five-decade-long career in comedy, lampooning famous people, fads, family—and that is just one drawer. She kept all of her jokes meticulously organized in her "gag file," a large card catalog with 51 drawers standing over 4 feet tall. We're giving you a chance to peek inside Diller's gag file before anyone else, to help us transcribe these pieces of American history. But how did these jokes end up at the museum?

And, after a careful analysis of those 51 drawers, they actually found three funny jokes.

And they had been written by Bob Hope.
