Native American Joke
By Donna Flood
18 December 2008 · Humour
For explaination to Non-Native American readers:
aaaa (long a) is a slang word or expression used by probably all tribes and its meaning fis many different
circumstances. It could mean, "I'm joking," or "I don't
really mean this," or "this is unbelievable," and probably
more situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime.
Joke:
There were dogs on both side of the road which goes through the reservation.
On the right side were reservation dogs, and on the left side were non-Indian dogs.
A car comes by and the reservation dogs were madly barking, yapping, running up and down, chasing the car.
The non-Indian dogs were sitting quietly barking, "bow-wow, bow-wow."
After the car had past the non-Indian dogs said, "You don't have
to waste so much energy barking. Just do like we do, "bow-wow, bow-wow."
When the next car came along, the reservation dogs sat quietly and barked,
"bow-wow, bow-wow, aaaaaaaaaaa."
