Winter Joke
Hi Jean Paul,
Nope, I did not know it!
Since a good turn deserves another, here is a story with a different tack.
An Indian Tribe (US) decides to take a new leader, so they elect a young man.
He does not much about the rituals, he drives a pick-up truck, he has a cell-phone, and he is a man of his time.
On his first public meeting with the Tribe, someone asks him if the next winter will be cold!
Since winters are usually cold, he says “yes” and he tells everyone to pick up wood in prevision of the coming winter.
After a couple of weeks, not knowing if what he said was ok, he calls the weather bureau and asks if the winter will be cold. The answer is, yes.
So, he meets with the Tribe and he tells them to gather more wood.
Two weeks pass, and again he calls the weather bureau. He is told that the coming winter will be very cold.
Very concerned, he calls a meeting, again, and he tells everybody to gather even more wood.
Two more weeks pass, and again he calls the weather bureau. He asks is the coming winter is really going to be very cold. He is told that not only the weather is going to be very cold, but it is going extremely cold.
So, he asks, how do you know it is going to be extremely cold?
The man answers: We have been observing the Indians and they are gathering more wood than ever before
