Green Side Up

An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural-history museum:

``I've just discovered a 3,000 year-old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!''

The excited scientist exclaimed. To which the curator replied, ``Bring him in. We'll check it out.''

A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. ``You were right about 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, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'''
