89. Weather Forecast
2013-09-06
A film crew was on location deep in an England town. One day an Indian went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow, thunder.” The next day, it thundered.
A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow, windy.” The next day, there was a gale.
The director was very satisfied with the Indian’s wisdom, and thought he was a superman. So he told his secretary to hire the Indian to forecast the weather, and promised a good salary to him.
However, after several successful forecasts, the Indian didn’t show up for two weeks. Finally the director sent for him. “I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,” said the director, “and I’m depending on you. What will the weather be like?”
The Indian shrugged his broad shoulders. “Don’t know,” he said, “Radio is broken. No broadcasting.”
