..it's difficult to believe but this one contains a message to the Assyrian King about his governor, oddly enough named Ashur Bet-Shlimon or "Ashur of the house of Solomon"...anyway, in it the people of this minor kingdom, now ruled by the Assyrians, complain about their governor, only instead of using his name they call him "asshole"...or, in cuneiform..."bizz-it tdeeza".

...whenever reference is made to their governor, Ashur Bet-Shlimon, they write "asshole" instead....researchers are convinced today that "asshole" and Ashur Bet-Shlimon are interchagable, that they both stand for the same person, or orifice.

..it's hard to imagine the governor being convinced of this....but I am.

You can't argue with science.
