Finding copper joke

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of
copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors
already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to
a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read:
"English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded
that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network
a hundred years earlier than the Scots."
One week later, "The Kerryman," a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, self-taught archaeologist
Paddy O'Droll reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded
that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."
