I hope you remember some geometry, otherwise the following is not
going to make any sense at all (in fact I think its the only joke
based on a pythagorean theorem):-
An american indian chief has 3 wives. He gives each of them a
present. To the first he gives a beautifully soft doeskin rug to
sleep on. The second receives a warm and woolly bison rug, and for
the 3rd he gives a hard and wrinkly hippopotamus hide.
The medicine man says to the chief - "I thought your 3rd wife was
your favourite - why did you give her such a rough old skin?".
The chief replies - "Well everyone knows 'The squaw on the
hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two
hides'".
Ok, ok, not so much a joke - more what passes for humour among
mathematicians!!!
Cheers
Deri
