Here's something I think you'll all enjoy.....
An Indian chief had three wives, each of whom was pregnant. The first gave
birth to a boy. The chief was so elated he built her a teepee made of deer
hide. A few days later, the second gave birth, also to a boy. The
chief was very happy. He built her a teepee made of antelope hide. The third
wife gave birth a few days later, but the chief kept the details a secret. He
built this one a two story teepee, made out of a hippopotamus
hide. He challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred. Many tried,
unsuccessfully. Finally, one young brave declared that the third wife had given
birth to twin boys. "Correct," said the chief. "How did you figure it out?" The
warrior answered, "It's elementary. The value of the squaw
of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two
hides."
