You have to love Idaho

I got this e-mail from my grandpa and had to share. I thought it was great.

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, The Rexburg Times, a local newspaper in Idaho, reported the following:

After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near St Anthony, Idaho, Lamoine Young, a self-taught archaeologist & geneologest, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Lamoine has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Idaho had already gone wireless.

Who said Idahoans are hicks?
