The Saturday Night Joke
Digging to a depth of 1,000 meters last year, French scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years.
The French came to the conclusion that their ancestors had a telephone network centuries ago.
Not to be outdone by the French, English scientists dug to a depth of 2,000 meters. Shortly thereafter headlines in the UK newspapers read: “English archaeologists have found traces of a 2,000-year-old fiber-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier than the French.”
One week later, Israeli newspapers reported the following: “After digging as deep as 5,000 meters in a Jerusalem marketplace, they found absolutely nothing. They thus concluded that 5,000 years ago Jews were using wireless.”
LOL – Good one!!
Your story concerns the French, the English and the Israelis.
Here is a completely different kind of story. This one has no reason to be posted here at the Tent, other than the fact that (going by the comments in the comment section) the “hero” of the story is a Russian, while the one he rescued is just a bug. Enjoy.
