September 18th Humor

@ When I was a kid we always played cowboys and Indians, and I was always an Indian. Today I have my own casino.

The commander of the C-141 was in a hurry to fly out of the US air base in Thule, Greenland, but everything was working against him. The truck to pump the sewage from the plane was late, and then the airman pumping out the tank was taking his time. The commander harassed the lowly airman, threatening to have him punished. Turning to the officer, the airman said,  “I have no stripes, it’s 40° below zero, I’m stationed in Greenland and I’m pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just how do you plan to punish me?”

@ Visiting the national Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC my sister and I were admiring a beautiful tribal headdress decorated with eagle feathers. A man came up to us and identified himself as a Native American. “Do you know how those warriors got those feathers?” the man asked pointing to the headdress. “They covered a hole with brush and tied a live rabbit on top of it and then hid underneath. When an eagle swooped down for the kill, they would grab its wing or its tail,” “Fascinating,” I said. “You learned that from your tribal elders?” “Actually, no,” the man confessed. “I saw it on the Discovery Channel.”
