“I like your poncho.”
“It’s not a poncho, it’s a Perfection Cape.”
Twelve pounds for a bivvy sack/air mattress combo?
Hikers then were made of sterner stuff.
“Watson… What does seeing the stars above us imply to you?”
(Not obscure. Best joke ever?)
That the tent blew away.
“Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets..Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we’re small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”
Certainly one of the greats, right up there with “My dog has no nose.”
Is that a real poncho — I mean, is that a Mexican poncho?
Or is that a Sears poncho?
