Story
An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a sarcophagus containing a mummy.
After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural-history
museum.
"I’ve just discovered the 3,000 year-old mummy of a man who died of heart
failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed.
The curator replied, "Bring him in. We’ll check it out."
A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist.
"You were right about 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’.
