Cold War Mummy

Toasting Sydney Soul Privately...
· Comrade, Little private deal: Socialising Loses [SMH ]

During The dark days of the Cold War an archeological expedition headed by Soviet scientists were given a mummy by the Egyptian government. They carefully prepared it for shipping and sent it back to the Soviet Union for further study.
Among other things, the scientists wanted to determine the mummy's age.
But the scientists were rudely pushed aside by the notorious Soviet secret police (KGB) who insisted, Leave it to us; we'll find out.
After a few days the secret police made the astounding announcement that the mummy's age was 3,402 years."That is amazing comrades," cried the Soviet scientists. How did you ever determine it?
That was easy, reported the secret police.
The mummy confessed.
I know...it's a lousy joke but there is a moral to the story: A little confession is good for the soul!
