Indian feathers
Ever wonder what the feathers in an Indian's headdress stood for?*
A female reporter, interviewing an American Indian Chief, asked the significance of the varied number of feathers in Indian headdresses.*
"Feathers show number of sexual partners," the chief replied. Pointing to a nearby young brave, he continued, "Him? One woman, one*
feather. Him?", pointing to a second, older man, "Three women, three feathers."*
The reporter looked at the Chief's headdress. "But you have so many feathers!"*
The Chief proudly slapped his chest. "Me Chief. Sleep with all women. Big, small, fat, tall."*
Horrified, the female reporter said, "You ought to be hung!"*
The Chief said, "Damn right. Me hung big like buffalo, long like snake."*
The offended reporter said, "You don't have to be hostile!"*The Chief replied, "Hoss-style, dog-style, wolf-style, any style!"*
The reporter cried, "Oh, dear!"*
"No deer," said the Chief. "Ass too high, run too fast."*
