A Texas Tale

Ok, being from Texas, I just can't resist Texas Tales. They are always about being Bigger/Better in Texas.  This one is wonderful.  When I told it to my husband and got to the end, he totally didn't see it coming.  So now I share it with you, through the kindness of Cindi at Handmade in Tx.  Thanks Cindi (and your mom, too)

A Texas Tall Tale
After having dug to a depth of 100 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, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 200 feet and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: "California archaeologists' discovery 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 Texas reported the following: "After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near Lubbock, TX, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Texas had already gone wireless."


Just makes you proud to live in (or be from) Texas, doesn't it?
