The genie allowed each person to bring one thing. The first friend brought a canteen so he wouldn't die of thirst. The second friend brought an umbrella to keep the sun off. The Orienteer brought a car door, because if it got too hot she could just roll down the window! *** Did you hear about the Orienteer who wore two jackets when she painted the house? The instructions on the can said: "Put on two coats." *** Why do Orienteers laugh three times when they hear a joke? Once when it is told, once when it is explained to them, and once when they understand it. ***
