Missing the Obvious
Lone Ranger and Tonto
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert, set up their tent, and are asleep. Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend.
"Tonto, look up and tell me what you see."
Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" asks The Lone Ranger.
Tonto ponders for a minute.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a 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 it tell you, Kemo Sabi?"
The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then speaks.
"Tonto, you Dumb Hoss, someone has stolen our tent."

Re: Missing the Obvious
Oh that was corny.
I like it, but I think you got it backwards. It was Tonto asking all those questions, and the Lone Ranger giving the answers

Re: Missing the Obvious
Could be, I have no idea. 
I wouldn't surprise me, Native Americans where not typically represented as mental giants on television shows in the 1950's (not that I was there or anything).

Re: Missing the Obvious
We survived! The early USA had its share of troubles and problems but even those things which were evil God has changed to a blessing.

Re: Missing the Obvious
About as much as what is evil in the rest of the world even today. Oh wait, you want some specifics... oki-doki,
Human Sacrifices by the Aztecs, scalping of the losing enemies by many different native indian tribes, sexual abuse and degradation of women in tribal wars and raids, murder etc...
