LONE RANGER STORIES
Lone
Ranger is Alone
The Lone Ranger was riding across the plain with his faithful sidekick Tonto. As they rode over the ridge the Lone Ranger raised his hand and brought them both to a sudden halt.
"Tonto... Look... To the North... Indians"
He turned in his saddle, "And look... to the West... More Indians"
He turned again, "And to the East... Hundreds of Indians"
He looked over his shoulder, "And to the South... Thousands of Indians"
He turned to Tonto, "It looks like we are surrounded partner"
Tonto said... "What you mean WE... Paleface"
Look at the Sky
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert, set up their tent, and are asleep. Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend. "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see? Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" asks The Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What it tell you, Kemo Sabi?" The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Tonto, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."
Is that your Horse?
The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a restaurant one day and sat down to eat. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside."
The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, "I do, why?"
The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said "I just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!!"
The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough, Silver was about dead from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got him some water and made him drink it and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.
The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better."
Tonto said, "Sure Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the restaurant to finish his meal.
A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the restaurant and announces, "Who owns that big white horse outside?"
The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?"
The cowboy says to him, "Nothing much, I just wanted you to know........You left your Injun runnin"!!!"
