An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial
pipe and eyeing two U.S. government officials sent to interview him.
Chief Two Eagles, asked one official, You have observed the white man for
90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his material wealth. 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.

WHO SAYS MEN DON’T REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.
She puts on her robe and oes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting
at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in
deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wiped a tear from his
eye and takes a sip of his coffee. What’s the matter, dear? she whispers as she
steps into the room, Why are you down here at this time of night?
The husband looks up from his coffee, Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating,
and you were only 16? he asks solemnly. The wife is touched to tears thinking
that her husband is so caring sensitive. Yes, I do she replies. The husband paused.
The words were not coming easily. Do you remember when your father caught us in the
back seat of my car? Yes, I remember said the wife, lowering herself into a chair
beside him. The husband continued. Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my
face and said, either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?
I remember that too she replied softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said
I would have gotten out today.
