Heap Big Indian chief had his three squaws sleeping on animal hides in his tepee. The first squaw slept on a cow hide, the second squaw slept on a horse hide, and the third squaw slept on a hippopotamus hide. Bye and bye, they all became pregnant and presented the chief with his heirs. The squaw who slept on the cow hide had a son, the squaw who slept on the horse hide had a son, but the squaw who slept on the hippopotamus hide had twin sons...

MORAL: The squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.

The sons of the squaw on the hippopotamus hide equal the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

That was one of my Dad's favorite jokes :-). He was a Civil Engineer.

That and another involving a duck that took two people to tell.

True moral...

It might be the one that reads something like: MR DUX. MR NOT DUX. OSAR, CDBDIS. LIB. MR DUX. Then again, it's probably something else equally strange.

As an aside, I spent yesterday at one of my daughter's homes feasting on a lovely Thanksgiving meal along with an odd collection of in-law's, outlaws and my ex-wife and her husband. The ex-wife and husband left the party earlier than the rest because he just had to go to Cabelas again as he is one of those people that would rather hunt and fish than sleep or eat. Several hours later as we were driving home we passed a vehicle with a license plat that read: ICDUX2. Yup, that was them. His father's SUV has the plate that says: ICDUX.

MR KNOT
OSAR
CM WINGS
LIB
MR DUCKS

Earl Abel's in Austin

Among other things on the wall of the Austin Texas greasy spoon was this ditty:

Seville Dar Dago
Tousin Busses Inaro
Nojo Demstrux
Summit Cows In
Summit Dux

When I was a kid we couldn't get within 50 miles of Austin without my dad getting hungry and having to eat there. My mom hated the place. She always lost.

I've heard it like this:

M. R. Ducks.

M. R. Not Ducks.

O. S. M. R.
C. D. E. D. B. D. Wings?
C. D. E. D. B. D. Feet?
M. R. Ducks.
