What occurs when you don't know ALL the facts.

Okay, okay!  I know this is more or less OT, but damn, it illustrates
a point in an exemplary manner....not to mention hysterically so!  ;)


A team of archaeologists were working in Jerusalem when they found a
slab of rock with five figures carved across it. In order, the figures
were: Woman - Donkey - Shovel - Fish - Star of David. After months of
studying the rock and figures on it, the archaeologist team leader
took the rocks and went on a lecture tour. He said, "The carvings were
several thousands of years old, but even so,they revealed a lot about
the people of that time: 
 
1. The woman being placed first in the line of figures indicated that
women were held in very high esteem. It was most likely a family
oriented culture. 
 
2. The donkey indicated they had domesticated animals. They probably
used the donkey to till the fields. 
 
3. The shovel shows they were highly intelligent as they knew how to
make tools. 
 
4. The fish shows they knew how to augment the crops they raised by
also reaping from the sea. 
 
5. The Star of David of course indicates they were a very religious
group of people." 
 
A little old man, sitting in the front row, finally got the attention
of the speaker. When acknowledged he said, "I'm sorry to upset your
theories sir, but you were reading the figures from left to right. In
Hebrew we read from right to left. Correctly read, it says, 'Holy
mackerel, dig the ass on that woman.'"

 and there is some evidence that they can't read them either." ---Gore Vidal
