Copper Wire
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".
One week later, the state’s Dept of Minerals and Energy in Western Australia, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."

A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid!!!
When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop at any time........
A boss wondered one day why one of his absent and most valued
employees had not phoned in. Having an urgent problem with one of the
maincomputers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted
with a child's whisper. " Hello ? "
"Is your daddy home?" he asked.
" Yes ," whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?"
The child whispered, " No ."
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your
Mommy there?" " Yes ."
"May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, " No ."
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the
boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
" Yes ," whispered the child, " a policeman ".
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss
asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
" No, he's busy ", whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?"
" Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman , " came the whispered
answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background
through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that
noise?"
" A helicopter " answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, " The search team just landed
a helicopter ."
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are
they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle... "
ME ."

A church congregation were sitting quietly talking one Sunday waiting for the Minister to start the service when all of a sudden Satan appeared before the people. The people all rushed to get of the church as quick as possible except for an old man who was sitting in the back pew.
Satan looked at the old man saying,"Do you know who I am?
"Yep"replyed the man.
"Dont you know I could destroy this building in seconds?
"Yep"replyed the man.
"Dont you know I could destoy this whole town in seconds?"
"Yep replyed the old man"."
"Dont you know I could strike you down dead where you are sitting"
By this time Satan was getting a bit annoyed. "You know all this and you are still not scared of me?"
"Nope "replyed the old man.
"Why are you not scared of me?"
The old man replyed,"Been married to your sister for sixty years

Why do woman close there eyes when making love ? because they cant stand seeing a man enjoying himself....
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just got married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director" she answered. "Interesting" the newsman thought.
He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.
After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. She smiled and explained "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
