Wash. Biol. Surv.

"Wash. Biol. Surv."

Until recently, the US Department of the Interior tagged
migratory birds with the following inscription:
"Wash. Biol. Surv."

Then they got this letter from a hiker:

"Dear Sirs: While camping last week I shot one of your
birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking
instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it
was horrible."

The tags now read, "Fish and Wildlife Service."

"Holmes And Watson Go Camping"

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping
trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said:
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson said: "I see millions and millions of stars."

Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"

Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions
of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we
are small.

Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful
day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes: "Watson, you idiot. Somebody stole our tent."
