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

Not to be outdone by New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper-wire system 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 Redneck Rebel Gazette in LaVergne, Tennessee, reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 feet in an empty field near Smyrna, Bubba Ray Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Tennessee had already gone wireless.'

 

good read

 

Good thing that was only a joke. Some Bible thumpers would insist that it's only a theory

 

How many people here can say Smyrna properly?

Sa-mern-a?

 

Almost sounds like vodka nay be made there in Smyrna

 

Not quite, but close.

 

If it was I wouldn't live 2 hours south of there. I'd be living there.

Thanks for playing.

 

Nah.. 300 years falls withing the truth....

And a yankee wins it.
