Louisiana has gone wireless

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet 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,
a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet and shortly
after, a story in the LA Times read: ‘California archaeologists, finding
traces of 200 year old copper wire, 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 Louisiana reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near St.Martinville, Bubba
Boudreaux, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely
nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago,
Louisiana had already gone wireless.

Just makes you proud to live in Louisiana !
