A team of archaeologists were 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 dog 
>>     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 
>>at least 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 the ancient symbols.  They held 
>>a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss what they 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 dog. We can judge that this was a highly 
>>intelligent race as they knew how to have animals for companionship. 
>To 
>>prove this 
>>statement you can see that the next symbol resembles a donkey, so, 
>they 
>>were even 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 that they had a famine that 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 Jewish 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 BITCH!"
