In 1890, two guys were in town getting supplies for their prospecting camp
when they saw an old Indian sitting on a stoop. One guy recognized him and
said "See that old Indian over there, he has the world's best memory." The
other guy seemed skeptical of this, so as they approached the Indian the guy
said "Go ahead, ask him anything and see if he remembers it". All he could
think of was "What did you have for breakfast on December 12, 1865" to which
the Indian replied "Bacon and eggs". The guy was still skeptical, saying,
"I'm not convinced. Maybe he eats that everyday for breakfast anyway."

30 years later the guys were paddling along on a lake and saw an Indian
camp. The skeptical guy said "Hey, there's that Indian we saw in town." He
waved and called, "HOW".

The Indian replied "Scrambled."

You'd have to change the greeting to something that would elicit the
"curried" response, I don't think "HOW" would work.

OK. To translate that joke so people in the UK like it, here is the UK
version :-)

30 years later the guys were paddling along on the Ganges and saw an Indian
camp. The skeptical guy said "Hey, there's that Indian we saw in town." He
bowed and called, "Nanamste". ( According to Dee.) (No small task to bow in
a canoe.)

The Indian replied "Curried." (According to Om.)

Pretty hilarious, eh?

Lefty, if it is a play on words, I just don't get it -- please 'splain. Who

Depends on whether or not he spoke English...

"How" is not a native american word that I know of?

The "hilarious" part is tongue-in-cheek :-)
When the poster from UK mistook the (American) Indian for one from Delhi, I
proposed thranslating the joke into that culture. So Om offered "curried" as
the response instead of "scrambled", then I needed a greeting that the North
American Indian "HOW" would translete to, that would elicit that response.
You said "Nanamste" with hands in prayer bowed a little was the greeting.
The stereotype for the American Indian would be his hand held up in a
"stop"-like gesture when saying "HOW". The guy can stay seated in the canoe
if he only bows his head, otherwise we would have to put him on a raft,
which is OK too because they have been translated from "the lake" to "the
Ganges". Simple, right?

There is no way that it turns out to be funny. It is a monument to
pointlessness, a glorious nonsense, a literary death-throe. Damn I'm good.

"HOW" and a "stop"-like gesture with the hand is a cliché greeting used by
American Indians. I'm surprised you're not aware of it --I guess you didn't
grow up on Cowboys and Indians shows on TV like I did. That is part of the
coolness of this joke, that the "HOW" has the double meaning.

You did say that you were a dedicated nonsense-ist (or something like
that) several posts back.

It's why you enjoy Mark Twain as much as I do.

I've _got_ to get some literature from Ben Franklin.
I've heard he's every bit as good...

Oh yes, I'm quite aware of it. ;-)
It's just that the joke used the "english" meaning of the word so if the
Mid-eastern Indian spoke english, it would still work but would not be
as funny as using the stereotype example.

Speaking of native americans, I should probably post that Lone Ranger
joke.....

I know. The double meaning is what made it funny!

He's good but a little more stifling: "A penny saved is a penny
earned" --Mark Twain would be more like "If you have a pocket-full of
pennies, better gamble them away on the riverboat; or else when you fall
into the Mississippi River their weight will only drag you to the bottom."

You are a Certified resource! Have you ever seen the webpage called
"refdesk.com"? I used to use it as a homepage because it is a resourceful
starting page for anything on the www. They have a "Quote of the Day" that
is usually quite good--stuff you have never heard before. If you haven't
already, check it out.
