Arkansas Technology seems to have been impressive to a Texican who sent me the basic facts for this important news article. I’m not the author of the basic facts, and if he stole them from someone, please accept my apologies and calm down a bit. It ain’t that life-changing. Besides, I made up most of it myself.

New York and California have been competing with one another ever since we allowed California to become a part of the United States. New Yorkers got quite uppity after they bought Manhattan for twenty-four dollars. I don’t know why they got so uppity about it. Just look at what Manahattan has done to the rest of America. Some folks are beginning to believe they should have left the Wall standing instead of turning it into a street.

Archaeologists dug a hole, like archaeologists do from time to time. It seems that at a depth of ten feet they discovered some old copper wire. Now, you know how archaeologists are. If they find something, they got to make it look like a discovery. So they issued a press release saying that New York ancestors had a working phone system long before Alexander Graham Bell strung his cans together.

Californians grabbed their own archaeologists and had ‘em start diggin. Sure enough, at a depth of twenty feet they found some old copper wire and, sure enough, they issued a press release that California had a telephone system 100 years before the one in New York.

About a week after the California discover, Bubba Smith from Hardy, Arkansas was trying to dig a new well out in his pasture. You might have guessed this, but after digging down thrity feet he did not find any copper wire. None, nada, zip. Bein’ the enterprisin’ Arkansan that he is, he wrote to the local newspaper that an Arkie-ologist had determined that 100 years before the folks in California had their copper wire phone system, Arkansas had already gone wireless!
