There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This just goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.
:rolleyes:

:laughing1: I liked that one.
You must be an indian too Paul - you're brave to post that :U
(We really do need a "groan" emoticon don't we?)

I think it is just as well Pythagoras is no longer with us. Would he have seen the funny side of it and which of the three would that have been :) ?

Paul
Very funny
Good question - I hadn't thought of that angle.Quote:

I think that might have been right with the skins over a certain size. Even the indigenous americans were entering a period of bureaucracy where red tape prevailed over reason. To get permission to tan a hide of hippo proportions the paperwork had to be sined and cosined.Quote:

That is either an obtuse, or an acute way of looking at it.Quote:

Still can't find the groan but after reading the last few posts this one may now be appropriate........
:gaah:
Math puns are the first sine of weakness
No.!. No.!. No.!. What have I done? I've created a monster.
Anybody else wanting to post a pun worthy of Bob's emoticon may do so after forwarding a suitable bribe to me. A try square, engineer's square, combination square or similar, but preferably all of a superior quality like Colen Clenton's tools or our own Ian Wilkie :D:p.

Do you mean try squaw, engineers squaw etc etc
If he means that then, three squaws in a triangle makes a geometrical oddity.Quote:

SOHCAHTOA?
Squaw On Hippopotamus Cares About Her Twins Over Anything
OK, it's very contrived and not funny - so sioux me :p

PS. I never hear SOHCAHTOA without thinking of the tiny island in Indonesia that in 1883 made the largest explosion in modern times and arguably the biggest Tsunami too.
This is just another typical thread on the woodwork forum, after the first three posts it goes off on a tangent - where's that icon again?

Mod should come in and say that this thread has covered all angles

Perhaps some commonsense will prevail and it'll strike a chord with a mod :rolleyes:. Possibly we should have a special set of icons ( groan, kick in the bum and Madame guillotine are the first three that came to mind) to counter digressive tendencies.
Ehh? Did we (I ) just digress again? :doh:

What about this one :buttkick:
Perfect :D:D.Quote:
