Cause Of Death

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 Abe, 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.Abe replied, “Bring him in. We’ll check it

out.” A week later, the amazed Abe 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,

‘I want 10,000 Shekels on Goliath’.”
