He Analyzed, She Analyzed
Humor - Archaeologists in Italy have discovered two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a 6,000-year old embrace. When examining the bones and theorizing the couple’s relationship, it may be hard for scientists to check their male and female perspectives at the lab door.
Male scientist: The discovery of two committed adults sharing and ancient burial chamber for 6,000 years should put an end to the myth that Stone Age men were sexist pigs. Patrick Dempsey has nothing over this guy.
Female scientist: It could also be the first known occurrence of a man faking sensitivity to get into a woman’s tomb.
Male scientist: But the position of the skeletons clearly shows he cared deeply about her. There is no indication he was planning on getting up early in the next afterlife to go to work.
Female scientist: That is a nice theory. However, further examination of the couple's positioning indicates the man was staring in the direction of a woman in the next burial chamber.
Male scientist: He was Neolithic, not a saint. And yet he chose to spend the next 6,000 years and beyond with his partner even after, as our analysis shows, he developed a cramp in his arm during the 3,700th year.
Female scientist: The problem with that theory is our body language experts concluded the man just wanted to be friends.
Male scientist: The experts also concluded the woman’s body language was saying “You promised me a bigger burial chamber.”
Female scientist: I don’t think it’s asking too much to spend an eternity with a little leg room.
Male scientist: If, like most males, he didn’t know her dress size, he certainly couldn’t have known her burial chamber size.
Female scientist: He could have asked.
Male scientist: Maybe there wasn’t a Neolithic word for “size.”
Female scientist: What’s more primitive about men than bragging about size?
Male scientist: How about women expecting to be taken out to dinner – before restaurants were even invented?
Female scientist: Typical Stone Age man.
Male scientist: Me or the guy in the tomb?
Female scientist: What’s the difference?
