southsider2k5 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him. One US Official asked Chief Two Eagles, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done." The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied . "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Women did all the work, Medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, All night having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled .... "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightthematch Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!" After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?" "No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Along the lines of SS2K5's joke... When the astronauts were training for the first missions to the moon back in the 1960's, they did some of their training out in some remote mountains, where the terrain was similar to what they thought they'd see on the moon. While they were out there training, they noticed a couple Indians from the nearby reservation had come out to watch. The younger Indian said to one of the astronauts, "My father would like you to bring something with you to leave on the moon... something from my people" The astronaut grinned proudly, and said "Sure thing. What is it?" The old Indian scribbles something on a piece of leather, and hands it to his son, who hands it to the astronaut. The astronaut tries to read it, but its in some form of Pictography or symbols. So the astronaut asks the boy, "What does it say?" The boy reads it and laughs, then replies, "It says: 'Don't trust these people. They will steal all your land and kill all you food.'"
