Some of us have painful memories of the last time someone started a
sheep string on this list.
>A Cowboy meets an Indian herding sheep in the Black Hills.
>Cowboy: "Hey, cool dog you got there. Mind if I speak to him?"
>Indian: "Dog don't talk."
>Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?"
>Dog: "Doin' all right."
>Indian: (Look of shock!)
>Cowboy: "Is this Indian your owner?" (pointing at the Indian)
>Dog: "Yep."
>Cowboy: "How does he treat you?"
>Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes

>to the lake once a week to play."
>Indian: (Look of total disbelief)
>Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
>Indian: "Horse no talk."
>Cowboy: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
>Horse: "Cool."
>Indian: (Extreme look of shock!)
>Cowboy: "Is this your owner?" (pointing to the Indian)
>Horse: "Yep."
>Cowboy: "How's he treat you?"
>Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me brushes me down

>and keeps me in a lean-to to protect me from the elements."
>Indian: (Look of total amazement)
>Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
>Indian: "Sheep lie."
