The Unfriendly Giant

A short while ago during an archaeological dig in Israel, a man running a back-hoe dug up a fully encapsulated mummy.  In the Middle East they have very strict rules about what you do when that happens. So, he phoned in the discovery and within hours the head Curator from the Archival recovery division of the Jerusalem Antiquities Museum arrived.  As they were carefully loading the mummy into the van ... the back-hoe driver says, "I think he is about 3000 years old and died of a heart attack.”  With a sarcastic look the archaeologist thanked him for his suggestion and drove away.  Four days later the archaeologists tracked the back- hoe operator down and said, "after careful examination and carbon dating,  we concluded that he was around 3000 years old and did die of a heart attack - how did you know?'" "Well” the man began, I have a confession to make, when I discovered the mummy, I just couldn't help but poke around and examine it a bit. As I was examining him, I found that he was holding a betting ticket in his hand. It read "$100 dollars on Goliath"-- that is how I knew that he died of a heart attack.”
