2 P-listers went on a camping trip. After a good meal
& a bottle of wine they lay down for the night & went to sleep. Some
hours later, P-lister #1 awoke & nudged his faithful companion.

"Look up at the sky & tell me what you see."

"I see millions & millions of stars", P-lister #2 replied.

"What does that tell you?" #1 enquired.

#2 pondered for a minute.

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies &
potentially billions of planets.

"Astrologically I observe that Saturn is in Leo.

"Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past
three.

"Theologically I can see that God is all powerful & that we are small &
insignificant.

"Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

"And what does it tell you?"

#1 was silent for a minute, then spoke. "#2, you idiot. Some
bastard has stolen our tent."
