東京の冬はまだそれ程厳しくはありませんが、ニュースで見る北国は雪が降って本当に寒そうですね。大分昔ですが、シカゴに２年間住んでいた事があるので厳しい寒さの感覚は今でも覚えています。と言うわけで今日のジョークは今年の冬の寒さを予想するジョークで、RD (Sept. Issue) 6th Annual Humour SpecialにあったMexicoからのジョークです。
Indians ask their new chief whether the winter will be cold or mild. Since the young chief never learned the ways of his ancestors, he tells them to collect firewood, then he goes off and calls the National Weather Service.
"Will the winter be bad?" he asks.
"Looks like it," is the answer.
So the chief tells his people to gather moe firewood. A week later, he calls again. "Are you positive the winter will be very cold?"
"Absolutely."
The chief tells his people to gather even more firewood, then calls the Weather Service again: "Are you sure?"
"I'm telling you, it's going to be the coldest winter on record."
"How do you know?"
"Because the Indians are gathering firewood like crazy!"
