Cable theft in Thailand

[Benjamin 0]

After digging to a depth of 100m last year, Russian scientists found traces

of copper wiring dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that

their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

 

So as not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug

200m, and headlines in the US newspapers read:

 

"US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have

concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital

telephones 1000 years earlier than the Russians."

 

One week later, the Thai press and Thai TV reported the following:

 

"After digging as deep as 100om, Thai scientists have found absolutely

nothing.

 

The government have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were

already using mobile phones due to cable theft problems."
