Risk Taker

Sitting Bull had 3 wives who were always quarreling about who should be number one. One was pretty, one was clever and one was very strong. Finally, tired of their squabbles he told his medicine man to resolve the issue.

The medicine man took the wives to his teepee where he had gathered pelts and hides from all over the world. He told each wife to choose a hide and sit on it in front of the sacred campfire.

The clever wife chose a pelt of thick white fur, the strong wife chose a hide of orange
and black stripes and the pretty wife chose a hide of rubbery grey leather. The medicine man then pointed to the pretty wife and said, "Behold chief, your number one wife."

The chief was pleased, but the other two wives demanded an explanation. The medicine man said, "Even the ancient ones knew that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other
two hides."

A botanist had just returned from an expedition to the South Pacific Islands and was dicussing their adventures with their
colleagues back at the university where they taught. "What was the most exciting discovery you found there?", asked a
fellow professor.

One of them replied, "The people native to this one island had discovered the most amazing cure for constipation. Using only the leafs of the local palm trees they concocted a suppository which quickly cured the ailment." Another professor asked, "A palm leaf suppository? Did it really work?"

Replied the botanist, "With fronds like these...who needs enemas."
