Today’s little story…
Posted June 3, 2010 at 9:34 am by Ian Byington
Every so often, the expression “can’t see the forest for the trees” kinda hits me over the head as I get caught up the day’s details. The worst, of course, is when I think I have my act together & I can prove it intellectually. Here’s one of my favorite stories:
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, 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?”
“You dumber than buffalo shit. It means someone stole the tent.”

Nice one.
This made me laugh out loud . . . partly, I confess, in self-recognition.
