A female reporter, interviewing an American Indian chief, asked
the significance of the varied number of feathers in Indian
headdresses.
“Feathers show number of sexual partners,” the chief
replied.
Indicating a nearby young brave, he continued, “Him? One woman;
one feather. Him?” Pointing to a second, older man, “Three women,
three feathers.”
The reporter looked at the Chief’s headdress. “But you have so
many feathers!”
The Chief proudly slapped his chest. “Me Chief. Sleep with all
women. Big, small, fat, tall.”
Horrified, the female reporter said, “You ought to be hung!”
The Chief said, “darn right. Me hung big like buffalo, long like
snake.”
The offended reporter said, “You don’t have to be so
hostile!”
The Chief replied, “Hoss-style, dog-style, wolf-style, any
style!”
The reporter cried, “Oh, dear!”
“No deer”, said the Chief. “Back too high, run too fast!”
