Yet another pun

[Madmonks]

When three Native American women were giving birth they were in the maternity teepee and two were lying on buffallo hides but the other one was lying on the hide of a hippopotamus. When they had delivered the papooses they were weighed and both of the women who used buffallo hides delivered babies which were 8lbs exactly. The other child weighed in at 16lbs thus proving the theory of Pythagoras that the son of the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

The old ones are the best. I remember hearing that from a visiting American maths teacher when I was at school in the early '60's.

chrisrob,
just thought I would use one from the same era as most of yours!

You asked for that, Chris! lol. But, yes, that's that they say - the old ones are the best. Unfortunately, I've never been able to figure out just who 'they' are!

[chrisrob]

I like the nostalgia of these old jokes. And I've another for you tomorrow. You have been warned!
