| A Hollywood director was shooting a big budget movie on location in the desert. One day an old Indian came up to him and said, "Tomorrow rain." And sure enough the next day it rained. A few days later, the old Indian appeared on set again, sidled up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm." And sure enough, the following day there was a fearful storm which brought a temporary halt to filming. The director was hugely impressed by the old Indian's weather predictions and told his secretary to put the tribesman on the payroll. However, after a number of other successful forecasts, the Indian didn't show for three weeks. Then the director sent for him. The director said, "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow and I'm relying on you. What is the weather going to be like?" The old Indian shrugged his shoulders, "Don't know. Radio broken." |
