Ĵiĵeko, liaj ŝercoj (originale: Žižek's Jokes: Did You Hear the One about Hegel and Negation?) estas libroforma kompilaĵo el la plej popularaj ŝercoj (t.e. «Ĵiĵekismoj») de filozofo Slavoj Žižek. La ŝercoj estas organizitaj laŭ temoj kiaj filozofio, politiko, sekso, inter aliaj.[1]
Estas dubo ĉu la ŝerco de la koko (titolita: «Jam jardekojn cirkulas inter Lakananoj klasika ŝerco...») ne havas kiel sian fonton la strukture preskaŭ identan ŝercon el la eldonita en 1966 libro Latin sans Peine far Clément Desessard. Sube estas flankflanka komparo de la koncernaj tekstoj:
„ ..a man who believes himself to be a kernel of grain is taken to a mental institution where the doctors do their best to convince him that he is not a kernel of grain but a man; however, when he is cured (convinced that he is not a kernel of grain but a man) and allowed to leave the hospital, he immediately comes back, trembling and very scared—there is a chicken outside the door, and he is afraid it will eat him. “My dear fellow,” says his doctor, “you know very well that you are not a kernel of grain but a man.” “Of course I know,” replies the patient, “but does the chicken?” ”
„ Alter insanus se granum frumenti esse credebat: quotiescumque gallinam viderat, perterritus fugiebat: timebat enim ne a gallina voraretur. Medicus insanorum multa cum perservantia eum curavit. Insanus tandem intellexit se granum frumenti non esse... Postero die medicus, qui sanationem probare cupiebat, cum eo colloquebatur. At subito gallina quædam ab insano visa est, qui statim se in pedes conjecit. — Cur fugis? ait medicus. Credebam te sanatum esse. Cur adhoc gallinas times? — Non dubito quin me sanaveris: certus sum me granum frumenti non esse. Sed hoc gallina fortasse nondum novit![2]”
