Hebrew

There were a group of archeologists who dug up a line of hieroglyphics that
were, from left to right: a dog, a donkey, a shovel, a fish, and a Star of
David.

After years of study they came up with an explanation. They
believed that this was a very wise group of people. First, thy knew man had to have
company, hence the dog. Next, they knew that they needed animals to help
with work, so the donkey. The shovel was there because of their advanced
knowlege of tools. Next, they knew that they had to eat, and that fish were the best
source of food. Finally, they were a religious group and knew man had to
have religion.

After the explanation, a man jumped up and said, "You fools, Hebrew read
from right to left! It says 'holy mackerel, dig the ass on that bitch!'"
