Lines: 42 (Believe me, you're gonna hate yourself for reading this joke!) Once apon a time, there was tribe of Native Americans who lived in peace and harmony with their white brothers. This was due mainly to a brave and intelligent woman who was principle negotiator for their tribe in matters dealing with the great white chief. The woman soon became old because of the difficulties of negotiation and long distance travel to the great white chief teepee in Washington, DC. She decided that for the welfare of the tribe, she should step down. The tribe honored her with a Ceremony Of The Three Eagles, the highest honor the tribe could bestow on any of its members. Only a few in the tribe had ever been so honored. The tribe also gave the woman a special hide for sleeping on: an ultra comfortable hippopotamus hide imported from lands unknown. The tribe had to appoint a new negotiator. They found that no single person in the tribe could carry on this tough assignment. Instead, they decided to elect Running Bear (whose mother slept on a bear hide) and Proud Cougar (whose mother slept on a cougar hide). All of this goes to show (are you ready?): "The squaw of the hippotamus (Rite Tri-Eagle), is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides." Don't say I didn't warn you!
