The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,
“Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?”
The Lone Ranger replies, “I see millions of stars.”
“What that tell you?” asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, “Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What’s it tell you, Tonto?”
Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, “Kemo Sabe, you dumber then buffalo chip. Someone has stolen tent.”
Three Crows….. along the same lines as the joke that you allude to….. Bubba and George are in the cavalry. They get called into the Captain’s office where he tells them that they are the only troopers who haven’t brought in any bounty scalps. He ups the price from $5 to $10 per scalp and sends them out to find some indians and take their scalps. They travel into indian country and camp for the night. When George wakes up in the morning he looks to the north and sees 1000 indians, to the south another 1000 indians, to the west another 1000 and to the east another 1000. He quickly wakes Bubba saying, “Wake up Bubba and get your knife ready. We’re RICH!”
Looks like I better fire up the kettle of hot water, so when I dunk the crows and hawks, the feathers pluck out easy.:D
I’m molting anyhow but after waking up to frozen fog and cars sliding everywhere this morning, a kettle of hot water sounds downright inviting. 😉
Well, I have had a very humorous picture in my head all day. It involves a large kettle of hot water on a stove-top, some feathers drifting in the air, and dreaminghawk in his union suit. A few carrots, and a large spoon.
But it sounds like you’re going to need a bigger kettle.
Speaking of weather…. with a major winter storm bearing down on us (3 to 6 inches of snow predicted)….. I am reminded of the weatherman who made his prediction based on the amount of firewood being collected by the local indians. The indians seemed to be collecting more wood than usual so he predicted a worse winter than usual. Upon hearing the weatherman’s prediction, the chief urged his people to collect more wood, which caused the weatherman to predict more dire weather which caused the chief to renew efforts to collect more wood which alarmed the weatherman causing him to….. you get the picture 😉
I see you have been getting some real winter weather down there in Dixie. On that day that you mentioned the skidding cars, there was a 50 car pileup here in Connecticut, the thing went on for 2 hours, people tried to stop it but couldn’t. That kind of sounds like a tall tale, but it actually happened here this week. Bad day for a lot of surprised folks. Hate to see that happen to anyone.
Looks like we’re in for a good storm, I think this one might even meet my Father’s standards for a nor’easter. By his definition it had to be a blinding snow, sideways for at least two straight days.
I’ve noticed my neighbors are getting extra wood in for the weekend. As for me, I plan to put in provisions and look out the window at it. I’ve already got plenty of wood, I heard it was going to be a tough winter.
