<human>:  Have jokes killed more people than rats in history?
<bot>: No, jokes have not killed more people than rats in history. There are only a handful of deaths attributed to jokes throughout history including King Martin of Aragon. There are an average of 30 deaths by rat attacks every century. The plague which is sometimes associated with diseased rats killed millions of people. So jokes have not killed more people than rats in history, but rats have killed more people than jokes.
