Here it is! I did misremember slightly after 25 years - it is a deer antler, not an elk horn!

This is an 11th century Irish deer antler with a runic inscription saying "This is a deer antler."

Ancient Scandinavians after discovering the written word.

A Far Side cartoon of a man saying "Now...that should clear a few things up around here". He is holding a paintbrush, and has painted the names of things on them -- the Tree, the Dog, the House, etc

"I'm gonna write 'This is an elk horn' on it" "But it's a deer antler" "I know, but just imagine how much confusion this will cause to future generations"
