Shaman
as weatherman
巫師氣象報告員
A
film crew is on location in Kenya, when a tribal
shaman approaches the director
and says, "Tomorrow rain." The director pays no
attention, but the following day it pours
and shooting has to be delayed.

That
night, the director sends his assistant to bring the shaman
back. "What will be the weather tomorrow?" asks the
director.
"Bigger
rain tomorrow, much wind," and sure enough a terrible storm
once again delays the filming.
But
then the witch doctor disappears for a week and the director,
now depending on him, sends his people out to find him and bring
him back to camp.
Finally,
he is located and brought to the director's tent. "What
will be the weather tomorrow?" asks the director in
desperation.
"No
idea," says the shaman, "Radio batteries
dead."
