Sorry for the lack of jokes recently folks, I've been in hospital for
a minor eye operation. Back on my feet now, though.

Thanks to Ted for this one...

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their
new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been
taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't
tell what the weather was going to be.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that
the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the
village should collect wood to be prepared. But also 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 indeed," the
meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even
more wood in order to be prepared.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it
going to be a very cold winter?"

"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's
definitely going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect
every scrap of wood they could find.

Two weeks later, he 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 going to be one of the coldest
winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.

The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting wood like crazy."
