Both farmers have a 500 acre plot of land next to each other. One farmer thought the other farmer got the most rain almost every time there was a rain chance. After one more day of a nice downpour on the neighbor's farm land and none on his, the farmer becomes extra furious. The farmer sues the thunderstorm that gave his neighbor water but not him for discrimination and neglect. They eventually have a court hearing to try to resolve the matter. The thunderstorm calmly explains that climatologically precipitation will even out between the two farmers. The disgruntled farmer however explains that on that particular day the thunderstorm cheated him out of water. After hearing the testimony, the judge rules that the thunderstorm is guilty and must give the farmer 4 additional inches of precipitation. The farmer walks out cheerfully while the thunderstorm is very puzzled. The thunderstorm goes out in the countryside and thinks about the ruling. Later that day the thunderstorm builds up the moisture to give the farmer his rain. The farmer sits out on his front porch with his hands folded behind his head and laughs at the developing and approaching thunderstorm. Seeing this, the thunderstorm convectively explodes. The thunderstorm pays the farmer back with 4 inches of golf ball size hail. After all the farmer's crops are decimated the farmer sues again but this time the judge does not punish the thunderstorm since the farmer got his water. Moral of story: When the weather is not to your liking make sure to remember that it could be a whole lot worse. Don't complain too boldly when a very nearby place gets weather that you want because it will even out climatologically. 61.

THE DEPRESSED METEOROLOGIST After being fired from his fifth meteorology job in two years, a very depressed Aggie meteorologist decides that he has come to the end of the road and it is time to end his life. He loves the weather so much though that he decides he wants to die from a weather disaster. He wants nothing more than to be a lightning, tornado or flash flood death statistic. For the first month he tries several times to get struck by lighting. He waves the golf club in the air and walks around the golf course and under trees. After several attempts at doing this he is unsuccessful. He then decides he will drive into a tornado. After driving around the Great Plains for a month he is unsuccessful at not only driving into a tornado but even seeing one. Next, he makes several attempts of swimming in a nearby creek so that he can drown in a flash flood. He is once again unsuccessful at dying. The depressed Aggie meteorologist now gets very angry with God. He pleads with God to get him off this earth through a weather disaster. While in his sleep one night God comes to him in a dream. God gives him a long lecture on the importance of living a full life on earth and that things will turn around for him if he finds some constructive weather education goals to pursue. God ends his lecture by stating, "I refuse to have you removed from the earth by a weather disaster but I am confused by why you went to the golf course on clear days, did your Great Plains tornado search in January, and swam in a dry creek bed on days it did not rain. Keep pursuing that dream of becoming a better forecaster and meteorologist and I will have a special place waiting for you in heaven." |
