Fishing Forcast. What do you use??

[Zogman]

[FONT=&quot]The king wanted to go fishing,[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and he asked the royal weather[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]forecaster the forecast for the[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]next few hours. The palace[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]meteorologist assured him[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]that there was no chance of rain.

[FONT=&quot]So the king and the queen went[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]fishing. On the way he met a man[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]with a fishing pole riding on a[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]donkey, and he asked the man[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]if the fish were biting.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The fisherman said, "Your[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Majesty, you should return to[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the palace! In just a short time[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I expect a huge rain storm."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The king replied: "I hold the[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]palace meteorologist in high[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]regard. He is an educated and[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]experienced professional. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Besides, I pay him very high[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]wages. He gave me a very[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]different forecast. I trust him."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So the king continued on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]his way. However, in a short[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]time a torrential rain fell from[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the[/FONT][FONT=&quot] sky. The King and Queen[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]were totally soaked.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Furious, the king returned to[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the palace and gave the order[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]to fire the meteorologist. Then[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]he summoned the fisherman[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and offered him the prestigious[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]position of royal forecaster.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The fisherman said, "Your [/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Majesty, I do not know anything[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]about forecasting. I obtain my[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]information from my donkey. I[/FONT][FONT=&quot]f [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I see my donkey's ears drooping,[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]it means with certainty that...it will rain."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So the king hired the donkey.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And thus began the practice of[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]hiring dumb asses to work in[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]influential positions of government.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The practice is unbroken to this date.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
