Here's a joke I remember from second grade:

Mark: What's red and goes ding dong?
Andy: A red ding dong?
Mark: Right! What's blue and goes ding dong?
Andy: A blue ding dong.
Mark: No, they only come in red.

But why clay? I can't believe the fraudsters chose clay just to make this joke possible.
If I want to put something into a box to simulate the heft of a phone, what's my most logical choice?

On those cuneiform tablets it is an obviously distinct text Ur.

Just like my uncle's wife.
She could afford nothing but hand-me-downs she used to say.
