“The Alaskan natives hunt of whales is a tradition. Certain species did not become endangered because of these natives hunting proclivities (thank modern man).”

If I were an Alaskan native I might think you implied that I’m not a modern man but some sort of caveman. I’d have to hop in my Geico insured whaling boat and come down to the 48 to harpoon your butt. You and your damn opposed thumbs!

You and your damn opposed thumbs!

Well, most people don't have anything against my thumbs, but I could see how a caveman would be jealous because they are opposable. :)

"Really? You had to go there?"

“If I were an Alaskan native I might think you implied that I’m not a modern man but some sort of caveman.”

I have a vague memory of a show where it had the Indians in a huge canoe, and paddling to go out on a whale hunt - hand-thrown harpoons and everything. One of the guys later said something like “Yeah - that’s just for the ceremony for when we start the season. But for the actual hunt we use a regular boat and harpoons. You’d be crazy trying to do it in a canoe!”
