There's Nothing Like a Good Joke. And this is Nothing like...

I dunno. I like this one. Heard it before. Heck, probably posted it before. But, all the same, here goes:

A week later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. “Does it still look like it’s going to be a very cold winter?” “Yes,” the man at the National Weather Service again replied “it’s going to be a very cold winter”.

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every piece of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later, the Chief called the National Weather Service again and asked “Are you absolutely sure that this winter is going to be very cold?
