Fakes?............
Reminds me of the old joke:
A tourist traveling through the American West, stopped at one of those ‘Last chance for Gas - 100 miles’ type places out in the middle of nowhere.
He noticed beside the cash register, a box full of Indian arrowheads, of various sizes and prices.
The sign read: “Genuine Old Indian Arrowheads. Small $1, Medium $2.50, Large $5.”
Intrigued, he asked the proprietor where he came across such a large collection of fine arrowheads.
“Oh, all over the place, out back.” He replied.
The tourist paid for his gas and meal and bought a couple of the larger arrowheads for his grandchildren back home.
Going outside, he decided to go around back and see if he could find a couple of arrowheads for himself.
As soon as he rounded the corner of the store, he could see that the man was not lying.
Seated at a table was and old Indian making arrowheads..................
A tourist on a trip through Spain went into a dark, cluttered shop to pick up some gifts for his return home. He rang the bell on the counter, and waited quite a while for the aged proprietor to emerge from a curtained doorway. The tourist explained his need, and the old man put up one finger, and said, “Ah! One moment.”
About five minutes later he reemerged carrying a large and battered cardboard box. From what appeared to be a boxful of straw, he produced a human cranium and mandible.
“For $50 I can sell you this.”
“A skull?”
“It’s the skull of Julius Caesar.”
The tourist rolled his eyes. “Uh, no thanks, what else do you have?”
The old man rummaged around a bit more in the box.
“How about this for $25?”
“A small skull? A child’s?”
“It’s the skull of Julius Caesar as a boy.”
