PCT hikers El Vaquero and Jose are camping in the desert. They set up their
tent and both are soon asleep.
Some hours later, El Vaquero wakes his partner, "Jose, look up at the sky
and tell me what you see."
"Jose replies, 'I see millions of stars, El Vaquero."
"What does that tell you?" asks El Vaquero.
Jose ponders for a minute, and responds:
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and
potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Chronologically, it appears to be approximately quarter past three.
Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful, and we are small and
insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
What does it tell you, El Vaquero?"
El Vaquero is silent for a moment, and then says, "Jose, you pendejo.
Someone has stolen our tent!"
