The Americans were very proud that they were the first to use
copper telephone wires. They dug 10 metres and found copper wires
in use by their ancestors.
Not to be outdone, the French dug 100 metres and found fibre
optics! See, we French people were using fibre optics 100 years
ago!
The Malaysians were unimpressed. Dr Mahathir ordered his government
officials to dig. They dug 10 metres and found nothing. They dug
100 metres and also found nothing. They decided to dig 1000 metres
and also found nothing!
Anyway, Dr Mahathir said: Well, this shows that 1000 years ago, we
were already using wireless!
