Indians Don’t Use Saddles
A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down.
An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off. The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a “Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a” so loud, that it echoed from the surrounding hills.
When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final “Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!” and rode off.
“What did you do to get that Indian so excited?” asked the service-station attendant.
“Nothing,” the woman answered. “I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn’t fall off.”
“Lady,” the attendant said, “Indians don’t use saddles.”
A lot of great ideas here for teachers that want to create their own online textbook. I’m thinking of doing this for my new classes next year…a lot of work to be done!
Sinking deeper and deeper. Catch me if you can. How happy and bright it may seem, before the black starts leaking through.
