Recently, Germany
conducted some scientific
exploration involving their best scientists. Core
drilling samples
of earth were taken to a depth of 50m and during the
core
examinations, small pieces of copper were discovered. After running
many
arduous tests on these samples, the German government announced
that
the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nationwide telephone
network.
Naturally, the British government was not that easily
impressed. So
they ordered their own scientists to take their core
samples at a depth of
100m. From these samples, they found small pieces
of glass and soon
announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago
already had a nationwide
optical fibre network.
Irish
scientists were outraged. So immediately after this announcement,
they
ordered their scientist to take samples at a depth of 200m but
found
absolutely nothing. They concluded that the ancient Irish 55,000
h
years ago were an even more advanced civilisation, as they
already had a
mobile telephone network in place.

A visitor from Holland was
chatting with
his American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red,
white
and blue in the Netherlands flag. "Our flag symbolizes our
taxes,"
he said. "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get
our
tax bill, and blue after we pay them."
"That's the same with
us," the American said, "only we see stars,
too."
