That's what she said.

I only recently heard this punchline. My wife says it goes back a long, long way, maybe even before our childhood. What's the earliest you remember hearing/saying this?

From at least 1975, and in a factory environment. It was humor most high. One just smiled and nodded.

It is a usually male-specific (in that case ostensibly heterosexual) response, and the result is intended to be ribald. As in, "I dunno if I can take any more of this." "That's what she said."

You want to put the emphasis on "she". Some kind of hilarious, eh?

That doesn't work, because they're not like cows. They usually try to get back up again.
