An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy, a rather rare occurrence in Israel, to say the least. After examining it, he called the curator of the Israel museum in Jerusalem.
"I've just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist
exclaimed.
To which the curator replied,
"Bring him in. We'll check it out."
A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist.
"You were right about both the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know"
"Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that
said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath.'"
