Old Rock

A team of archaeologists was digging in Israel when they found an old, worn
out rock. On the rock there were these drawings, in this order: a woman, a
donkey, a shovel, a fish, and a cross. The team was fascinated and was sure they
had found remnants of an unknown civilization. For months they researched and
tried to make sense of the drawings, and finally held a huge conference to tell
what they had come up with.
The team leader stood up and said, "Look here, the first picture is a woman.
We have determined that this means women were the dominant sex in this
civilization. The second symbol is a donkey. We think this means they had
domesticated animals. The third drawing is a shovel, showing they were
intelligent and used tools. Fourth there is a fish, which tells us they had
learned to reap from the sea as well as the land. Finally there is a cross,
which shows they were religious people. Any Questions?"
A Jew stands up in the back and says, "You said you found this in Israel. With
all due respect, sir, we read things from right to left in Hebrew. Those
pictures say, 'Holy Mackerel Dig the Ass on that Woman!' "
