A burglar was stopped late one night outside the British Museum in London by a policeman. (This was in the days when they actually arrested burglars!) The burglar was carrying some ancient artifacts from the Egyptian display room. The policeman recognised one of them as the Rosetta Stone, and the other as a clay relic with heiroglyphics on it.
"What are you doing with those?" he asked the burglar.
"I've got a headache," the burglar replied.
"What's that got to do with it?"
"I called my doctor earlier about my headache and he told me to take two tablets and call him again in the morning!"
