Title: Inspector W 2
Post by Iceman on Oct 21^st, 2007, 10:36am

A married couple Vance, Natalie and Victor nicknamed inspector W, are strolling down the street, when suddenly a breeze turns into a strong wind. What a nice willow! Says Natalie. It would be a pity if the wind breaks it. He replies: I heard that, sometimes, a branch could break because of tree's sorrow. She says: Oh, I see that you have been drinking Whiskey again from your canteen, even though I asked you to be sober. Victor says: No I haven't! But tell you what. If you tell me how could a branch break w/o bad weather or a life form being involved, I will give you my canteen.Natalie soon gets the canteen. How?

Earthquake. Doesn't count as bad weather, does it?

Natalie is used to Victor's twist and turns. She stretches out the hand, with a hard look and says "The canteen. Now!"

Does bad weather include rain without any wind? If it rains at a temperature of about 0, ice forms and often brakes branches under its weight. I guess you can say that this goes under "bad weather", but I just wanted to make sure.

Snow accumulation can also break fragile branches.

Yes. This one was easy. Btw, it was snow.

But isn't it nice when snowflakes are falling down, slowly, as there's no blizzard? Btw, have you ever been skiing? :P

Lol. It never rains in Australia pretty much... As for snow, I've been to Mt Buller once, and then it was summer, no snow. :(

I know that wasn't directed at me, but that's my predicament. I thought it was important for people to know Australia is in a major drought at the moment.

Make me an ambassador in Australia and there will be snow in no time. 8)

I for one am very used to snow. Except for 1 week in Florida, I have never gone past the tropic of cancer. Trust me, even small amounts of snow piled up can break through your roof. :P
