I haven't forwarded many jokes in a while but this tickled my funny bone

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 New Zealand Herald, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Onerahi, Bill Paku
a self-taught archaeologist and avid Motorhomer reported that he
found absolutely fuck all. Paku has therefore concluded that 250 years
ago, New Zealand had already gone wireless."

Just makes you bloody proud to be a Kiwi!!!

I'm sure glad someone is educating the younger crowd's vocabulary. If something is absolutely f**k all, at least I know what it means. Would hate to have to explain that to a pre-teen that might be on here tho.

Watch out Radar...I think I can see Suz going through her pile of switches to select an appropriately nasty one mate.

Ladder is over this way...but I'd be quick.

Cheers, Vince

Sorry Suz,
I just cut and pasted - didn't censor.
My mistake

Perhaps the addition of F***, in the original post or change it to B***er all might save your bacon?
Constructive advice from someone who is more guilty of posting unacceptable words than most.
