Just for you Billy

Copper Wire

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of New York City , New York scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 100 years.
They 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, a Los Angeles , California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside Oceanside .
Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read:
" California archaeologists report a finding of 200 year old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."

One week later, a local newspaper in Houston, Texas reported the following:
"After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of Sugarland, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.
Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Texas had already gone wireless".

Just makes a person proud to be from Texas . :D

And most people who live in California think their state is way ahead of anyone else. Texas and people like Billy proved them wrong. Geesh, in Iowa one time I dug down in a pasture and found a petrified cow pie, I guess that proves that Iowa must have been tilled over once the cows roamed the pasture. Carl
