Cosmic Wisdom vs. Grand Theft Camping: A Masterclass in Overthinking

Dave and his girlfriend, Jessica, went on a romantic weekend camping trip. After enjoying a great dinner and sharing a bottle of wine, they crawled inside their tent and fell fast asleep.

A few hours later, Jessica woke up and nudged her boyfriend awake. “Dave, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

Dave blinked his eyes open and yawned. “I see millions and millions of beautiful stars, darling.”

“And what do you conclude from that?” Jessica asked.

Dave paused, adopting his most intellectual tone.

“Well, astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is roughly a quarter past three in the morning. Meteorologically, I suspect we’ll have flawless weather tomorrow. And theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and we are just a tiny, insignificant speck in the cosmos.”

He smiled proudly, expecting a kiss. “What does it tell you, Jessica?”

Jessica stared at him in deadpan silence for a long moment before replying:

“Dave, you absolute idiot… someone stole our tent!”
