An Italian, German and Romanian archaeologists are all sitting at a bar...

and they are all comparing how great their respective countries are.

The Italian, so proud of his noble country and their history, including the Roman empire, says that he will prove that his country was the most advanced. He, being an archaeologist and all, goes and digs 100 feet under ground to find the Roman water systems.

He says to his friends "Voila, look at how advanced my ancestors were, we connected water to everything surely we were the most advanced"

The German, obviously proud of his heritage, wants to prove the Italian wrong. He goes and digs 200 feet deep and to his surprise finds a library and a printing press.

He says to his Italian cohort "Well you may have the water systems but we invented books and the printing press, which has revolutionized the world more than any water system could"

The Romanian, wanting to outduel his friends, goes out and does his own excavation. He goes out and digs 100 feet and does not find anything. Perplexed he digs 200 feet, then 300, then 400 and eventually gets to 1000 feet. Not finding anything he journey's back to his friends where he says

"Men I have trumped you all, my ancestors were SO advanced I dug 1000 feet and did not find anything, clearly my ancestors were wireless"
