• The Telephone

    From Roger Nelson@1:3828/7 to All on Tue Jul 18 06:33:45 2017
    Hello All!

    After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of New York City, New York archaeologists found traces of copper cable dating back 150 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

    Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles
    archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet just outside Oceanside, California. Shortly thereafter, a story appeared in the LA Times that read: California archaeologists report the finding of a 200 year old copper cable and have concluded that their ancestors had an advanced high-tech communication network 50 years earlier than the New Yorkers.

    One week later, a newspaper in Louisiana reported the following: After digging down about 30 feet in his pasture outside Thibodaux, Louisiana, Boudreaux, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Boudreaux
    therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Louisiana had already gone wireless. Just makes a person proud to be from Louisiana!


    Regards,
