Copper wire - a "progressive" Minnesota joke
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, The Pioneer Press, a local newspaper in Minnesota , reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Embarass , Minnesota , Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Minnesota had already gone wireless. Thank Heaven's for Ole. Who said Minnesotans are hicks? |
