These are not camping related stories but they have all been told round the campfire at least once. I promise, you will be in stitches and if you have a weak bladder...... http://ohiocampcooks.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=laugh&action...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?", Holmes ask,
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and
potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Why, what does it tell YOU?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Some jerk has stolen our tent."

Here's one- One day three men were hiking along and came upon a wide, raging river. They needed to get to the other side, but it looked impossible to ford, and they had no idea of how to do it.

The first man prayed: Please God, give me the strength to cross this river.

Poof! God gave him big strong arms and legs and he was able to swim across the river-though it took him two hours to do it.

Seeing this, the second man prayed: Please God, give me the strength and ability to cross this river.
Poof! God gave him a rowboat, and he was able to row across the river- though it took him three hours to do it.

The third man observed how this had worked out for his two hiking buddies, so he also prayed, saying, Please God, give me the strength, ability and intelligence to cross this river.

Poof! god turned him into a woman. He looked at the trail map, and in a minute walked across the bridge.

A young veternarian had been asked to make the rounds of the local farms one week in the absence of his boss. Most of the week was uneventful -- the usual horse vaccinations, sprained dog paws, and sick cows. However, when he got to the MacPherson farm, he saw something extraordinary.

While he was talking to farmer MacPherson, a pig came ambling around the corner of the barn. What was extraordinary about it was that the pig had three artificial legs!

The young veterinarian asked farmer MacPherson about this curious animal. Why would anybody give a pig even one artificial leg, much less three?

"Wal," he drawled, "that there ain't no ordinary pig. Let me tell you -- one day ah was out baling some hay, and I hopped off'n the tractor to check the tire, which was kinda wobbly. Wouldn't'cha know it, the tractor started to roll of its own accord, and trapped me right there under the wheel. Just then old Pinky -- the pig, that is -- wandered by and saw whut'd happen, and skeedadled back to the house and fastened his teeth on my wife's dress, and wouldn't let go until he dragged her out to where I was layin', and then she got the tractor off me. That's one smart pig -- better'n Lassie, I'd say."

The vet was quite impressed. He knew pigs were pretty intelligent, but he had never heard of a pig doing anything like that. "That's amazing," he said, "But that still doesn't explain the artificial limbs."

"Wal, lemme tell ya about another time," MacPherson said. "Mah son was down at the swimmin' hole yonder a couple summers ago, and he hit his head on a big log out in the middle of the water. He was about to go down for the third time, when ol' Pinky jumped into the water, swam out to him, grabbed him by the shorts with the teeth, and drug 'im coughin' an' splutterin' up onto shore. Saved mah son's life, that pig did."

"Incredible!" the vet exclaimed. "Most pigs can't even swim! But the artificial legs...?"

"Wal, last year the old farmhouse burned down," the farmer continued. "Like as not we all would have been cinders, but for that little porker. We was all asleep when the fire started, but ol' Pinky ran squealing 'round the house 'til we all woke up, and went and dragged my youngest daughter from her bedroom just seconds 'fore the roof collapsed."

"That's one special pig," the vet admitted, "But please, tell me, why does Pinky have three artificial legs?"

Wal, said farmer MacPherson, A pig like that's just too good to eat all at once.
