Subject: Fwd: A cold, cold winter?
This is pretty funny and pretty much on target. The
weather people get their info from insects, animals and the indians. :-))
Late
fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in North Dakota asked their new
chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since
he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets.
When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be
like.
Nevertheless,
to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to
be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be
prepared.
But,
being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the
phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming
winter going to be cold?'
'It
looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the
weather service responded.
So
the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood
in order to be prepared.
A
week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look
like it is going to be a very cold winter?'
'Yes,'
the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very
cold winter.'
The
chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of
firewood they could find.
Two
weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you
absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'
'Absolutely,'
the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the
coldest winters we've ever seen.'
'How
can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The
weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood'
