There was an old Indian belief that by making love on the  hide  of
their favorite animal, one could guarantee the health and prosperity
of the offspring conceived thereupon.

And so it goes that one Indian couple made love on a buffalo  hide.
Nine months later, they were blessed with a healthy baby son.

Yet another couple huddled together on the hide of a deer and  they
too were blessed with a very healthy baby son.

But a third couple, whose favorite animal was a hippopotamus,  were
blessed  with  not  one,  but  TWO  very  healthy  baby sons at the
conclusion of the nine month interval.

All of which proves the old theorem that:

The sons of the squaw of the hippopotamus are equal to the sons  of
the squaws of the other two hides.


                             UGH!!!!!!
