Funny Bone
Joke of the Week
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, "Kemosabe, 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 chip. Someone
stole the tent."

Quote of the Week
Great people talk about ideas. Small
