Last year, after having dug to a depth of 5 metres, Canadian archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years.
They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago !
Not to be outdone by their neighbours, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 10 metres. Shortly afterwards, a story was published in the New York Times:
"American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire at a depth of 10 metres, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Canadians" !
A week later, British authorities reported the following:
"After digging to a depth of 20 metres in Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright, self-taught archaeologist reported that he had found, "absolutely nothingl" !
Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Yorkshire had already gone wireless"
.

Depends if "commission you" is some kind of slang, such as being "done up the Gary Lucy"0 -
