MyLaffs Joke #581
The archaeologist was thrilled beyond words when, after digging in Australia, he found a tablet with symbols carved upon it. Carbon dating placed it at nearly two thousand years old, which made the find even more significant.
"If we look at these symbols," said the archaeologist at a press conference, "we can infer several things about the society that carved them."
Displaying the tablet, he pointed out the symbols in turn. "The presence of the cross," said he, "indicates that Christianity had reached Australia not long after its founding. Next, the presence of a shovel suggests that the early Australians were builders. The third symbol, what looks to be a donkey, proves that they had domesticated animals, while the fourth picture, a baby fowl, demonstrates that they were farmers."
"Bull!" shouted a man in the audience, an archaeologist noted for his outre ideas. "Anyone with half a brain knows that it's really early Australian pornography."
"Oh?" the discoverer of the tablets said smugly, "and how do you know that?"
"Because," he replied, "what it really says is, 'Christ, dig the ass on that chick!'"
