I have just been listening to an episode of QI from 2003, where Jo Brand told that joke - I think that might be its origin.Why is there no aspirin in the jungle?

Ach. You've explained the joke nowParacetamol was added to the British Pharmacopoeia in 1963. I imagine that this joke emerged pretty soon afterwards.
Yeah but in the abscence of any evidence to the contrary I think it’s safe to proceed.Proof that every Miss Universe contest is fixed...

Reminds me of a well-known farmer who died.The poor chap who invented the throat lozenge has died. There will be no coffin at his funeral.
