OT - A little humor (apologies to members of the fairer sex given in advance if necessary, no insults intended):
A team of archaeologists was excavating in Israel when they came upon
>> a cave. Written on the wall of the cave were the following symbols in
>
>> order of appearance.
>> 1. A woman
>> 2. A donkey
>> 3. A shovel
>> 4. A fish
>> 5. A Star of David
>>
>> They decided that this was a unique find and the writings were more
>> than three thousand years old. They chopped out the piece of stone and
>
>> had it brought to the museum where archaeologists from all over the
>> world came to study ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after
>> months of conferences to discuss what they could agree was the meaning
>
>> of the markings. The President of their society stood up and pointed
>> at the
>> first drawing and said:
>>
>> "This looks like a woman. We can judge that this race was family
>> oriented and held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were
>> intelligent, as the next symbol resembles a donkey, so, they were
>> smart enough to have animals help them till the soil. The next drawing
>
>> looks like a shovel of some sort, which means they even had tools to
>> help them. Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish,
>> which means that if they had a famine hit the earth, whereby the food
>> didn't grow, they would take to the sea for food.
>> The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were
>> evidently Hebrews."
>>
>> The audience applauded enthusiastically and the President smiled and
>> said,
>>
>> "I'm glad to see that you are all in full agreement with our
>> interpretations."
>>
>> Suddenly a little old man stood up in the back of the room and said,
>>
>> "I object to every word. The explanation of what the writings say is
>> quite simple. First of all, everyone knows that Hebrews don't read
>> from left to right, but from right to left. Now, look again. It now
>> says:
>>
>> 'Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Woman!'"
