Proof positive that West Virginian's are ahead of the curve.

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, an
archaeologist in California dug to a depth of 20 feet and shortly
afterwards, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California
archaeologists have found traces of 200-year-old copper wire 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 Charleston Gazette, a local newspaper in West Virginia,
reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near
Logan West Virginia, Bubba Smith, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that
he found absolutely nothing. Bubba, therefore, concluded that 300
years ago, West Virginia had already gone wireless.
