1) When NASA was
preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajo
reservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son
came across the space crew walking among the rocks. The elder, who spoke
only Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people:
"What are these guys in the big suits doing?" One of the astronauts said
that they were practicing for a trip to the moon.
When his son relayed this
comment the Navajo elder got all excited and asked if it would be
possible to give a message to the astronauts to deliver to the moon.
Recognizing a promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA official
accompanying the astronauts said, "Why certainly!" and told an underling
to get a tape recorder. The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone
were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what
his father had said. The son listened to the recording and laughed
uproariously. But he refused to translate.
So the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village and
played it for other members of the tribe. They too laughed long and
loudly but also refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.
Finally, an official government translator was summoned. After he
finally stopped laughing the translator relayed the message: "Watch out
for these assholes - they have come to steal your land."

There's a guy with a Doberman
Pinscher and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman Pinscher
says to the guy with a Chihuahua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and
get something to eat."
The guy with the Chihuahua says,
"We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."
The guy with the Doberman
Pinscher says, "Just follow my lead." They walk over to the restaurant,
the guy with the Doberman Pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he
starts to walk in.
A guy at the door says, "Sorry,
mac, no pets allowed."
The guy with the Doberman
Pinscher says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."
The guy at the door says, "A
Doberman Pinscher?"
He says, "Yes, they're using them
now, they're very good."
The guy at the door says, "Come
on in."
The guy with the Chihuahua
figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts
to walk in. The guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."
The guy with the Chihuahua says,
"You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."
The guy at the door says, "A
Chihuahua?"
The guy with the Chihuahua says,
"You mean they gave me a Chihuahua?"
