Copper Wire
-----------
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.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"
