h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Lucky you. It wasn't all fun and games, you know

The tent is airing nicely, the front ground sheet has been washed and dried, the inside has been hoovered out, next a nice cider and gin with a watch of the TV

If you use a tarp under the tent as a moisture barrier, be sure to tuck the tarp edges under the tent so as not to direct rain water between the tent and the tarp.


This seems obvious, but when I'm camping I'm always surprised to see how many people have a tarp sticking out from under their tents. I did it as well until someone pointed out the flaw to me.


(Now I use a "Tent Cot" that is elevated above ground and have no worries about rain water or minor flooding.)

how about tents with built-in ground sheets

That's a good idea, Prof.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and go to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replies, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson ponders for a minute.

"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 are small and insignificant."
"Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
"What does it tell you, Holmes?"

Holmes is silent for a moment, then says: "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!"

Watson didn't realize the ex-tent of the problem.

It was an in-tents situation for both of them.

I went to the doc's saying I was felt like a tepee and wigwam he said don't worry, your only 2 tents

Oh! These LAME tent jokes!


But that reminds me.

Did you hear how Tonto, the Lone Ranger's trusty sidekick, died?

They two of them went to the county fair. While The Lone Ranger enjoyed some of the wonderful foods and crafts presented, Tonto decided to enter some contests. He did OK at the pie eating contest, but he WON the iced tea drinking contest hands down.

But all was not well. Later that night he drowned in his tepee.

The lone ranger shot tonto

after all those years he found out what kimosabi meant

After Tonto died, the Lone Ranger retired from his work and got a job in a bank as a loan arranger. When a customer came in, he said, "Hi ho, silver!"
