A ventriloquist cowboy walks into town and sees his old friend Proud Eagle (a westernized Cherokee) sitting on his porch. He figures he'll have a little fun...
Cowboy: "Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?"
Proud Eagle: "Dog no talk."
Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?"
Dog: "Doin' alright."
Proud Eagle: <shock>
Cowboy: " Is this man your owner?"
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."
Proud Eagle: <look of disbelief>
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Proud Eagle: "Horse no talk. Never"
Cowboy: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
Horse: "Cool."
Proud Eagle: <extreme look of shock>
Cowboy: "Is this your owner? " pointing at Proud Eagle. Horse: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How's he treating 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."
Proud Eagle: <totally amazed>
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Proud Eagle: "Sheep Lie."
