A ventriloquist cowboy walks into town and sees an Indian sitting on his porch
with his dog.  He figures he'll have a little fun.

Cowboy:  "Hey, cool dog.  Mind if I speak to him?"

Indian:  "Dog no talk."

Cowboy:  "Hey dog, how's it going?"

Dog:     "Doin' alright."

Indian:  <extreme look of shock>

Cowboy:  "Is this Indian your owner?" (pointing at Indian)

Dog:     "Yep"

Cowboy:  "How does he treat you?"

Dog:     "Real good.  He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes
         me to the lake once a week to play."

Indian:  <look of 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 at Indian)

Horse:   "Yep"

Cowboy:  "How's he treat you?"

Horse:   "Pretty good, thanks for asking.  He rides me regularly, brushes me
         down often, and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the
         elements."

Indian:  <total look of amazement>

Cowboy:  "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"

Indian:  "Sheep lie."
