An Archaeological Discovery
A recent expedition in the holy land, archaeologists found the painting shown here below in a cave. Without bothering to date the painting properly, they photographed it and sealed the cave again. After a few months they called a press conference, with an enlargement of the cave photograph on display. The hall was filled to capacity.
"We have learned a lot about these people”, the professor started off pointing to the chicken. “These people bred poultry to feed them.”
When the applause ended he pointed to the donkey and said: “They also harnessed animals to help them.”
Plenty more applause before he pointed at the shovel and continued: “And they used tools to till the earth.”
Even more applause followed and he pointed to the fish and said: “These people also supplemented their diet with fish.”
The applause lasted even longer and he concluded: “This was a religious sect; probably Hebrew.”
The professor received a standing ovation for several minutes and when it ended somebody shouted from the back of the hall:” You are all fools!”
The hall went very quiet and an old man stood up in the back row. “Don’t you know,” he said with a strong Jewish accent, “Hebrew is read from right to left.”
“The painting reads: ‘Holy Mackerel! Dig the áss on that chick!’”
