on a recent dig in a far off land..... while cataloging the various items in the Pharaoh's tomb deep within the pyramid they found... gold cups, bowls, oil lamps, bracelets. jewels of all kinds, tools, wine containers (with good wine in them!) and way back on an obscure shelf that was almost overlooked.... they found spam! Still in the original can it was opened and found still well preserved...
In an effort to avoid re-writing the history books and records of the ancients... it was fried up that night! Served up with the wine that was also found. A truly satisfying meal that was born out of past!
Later, it was discovered that the key from the spam can was able to unlock the Pharaoh's sarcophagus, upon it's opening they found his arms were crossed in the symbolic pose of the American housewife circa 1950. a frying pan and spatual! Mysteriously The frying pan and spatula disappeared and were replaced with the traditional scepter and onk. For some reason this was never recorded by the researchers! Now, this may be rumor or legend but as they say... there is always "some" truth to any story!
