    Talking Copper Wire

    After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York scientists
    found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion
    that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years
    ago.

    Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California
    scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the
    LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200
    year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an
    advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the
    New Yorkers.'


    One week later, " The Express News," a local newspaper in
    Texas reported
    the following:

    'After digging as deep as 30 yards in corn fields near Austin, Bubba
    Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely
    nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago,
    Texas had
    already gone wireless.'

    Copper Wire

    I think Bubba Johnson is referring to yelling not wireless. But your right it is very funny, non the less. Texans always want to be better then all the rest of the population.





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
