History, and keeping your priorities in order

[csanderson]

The history- In 1957, to celebrate the 50th aniversary of the statehood of Oklahoma, the city of Tulsa made a time capsule and buried it on the grounds of the city hall. It was rather large and besides the usual sealed stuff, they added a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvadere.
We,, today, to celebrate the centenial of Ok.'s statehood, they dug it up. Car wasn't in too good of shape, lots of rust,flat tires and other neglect. The sealed capsule fared much better, so everyone was happy.
Priorities in order part- The case of Schlitz beer in the trunk was declared in good shape!

In the interest of accurate journalism,(oxymoron?) The national news reported it as one can of Schlitz. I prefer the local Oklahoma news report that called it a case. Apperantly, when they put it in the ground, they had a lottery of sorts where the person that chose the population for 2007, and came closest, wins the car.(or their descendents) Winner to be announced next week.
Also said there was a 5 gal. can of gas in the trunk. After 50 years, the gas probably tastes better then the beer.

After drinking Schlitz I'd prefer the varnished gas. My great uncle worked for Schlitz in the L.A. area and he didn't drink it as much as other brands.
