"Oldest Record of the Written Word" joke

Found in the Mexican state of Veracruz, archaeologists say this slab of stone is the oldest script ever discovered in the Western Hemisphere. (14 inches long, 8 inches wide and 5 inches thick.)
Scientists were chagrined when upon disciphering the relic, it turned out to be a flier for "Troglo-bites," a primitive strip club in downtown Veracruz. The cave closed in approximately 900 B.C. due to complaints from neighborhood residents and the fact the dollar bill was not invented yet.
