OF REALLY BAD HUMOR, AWFUL ON SEVERAL LEVELS!
A tribe of Native Americans generally referred to their women by the animal hide with which she made her blanket. Thus, one woman might be known as Squaw of Buffalo Hide, while another might be known as Squaw of Deer Hide. This tribe had a particularly large and strong woman, with a very unique (for North America anyway) animal hide for her blanket. This woman was known as Squaw of Hippopotamus hide, and she was as large and powerful as the animal from which she made her blanket.
Year after year, this woman entered the tribal wrestling tournament, and easily defeated all challengers - male or female. As the men of the tribe admired her strength and power, this made many of the other women of the tribe extremely jealous. One year, two of the squaws petitioned the Chief to allow them to enter their sons together as a wrestling tandem in order to wrestle Squaw of the Hippopotamus hide as a team. In this way, they hoped to see that she would no longer be champion wrestler of the tribe.
As the match began, it became clear that the squaw had finally met an opponent that was her equal. Their match lasted for hours without a clear victor. Finally the chief intervened and declared that, in the interests of the health and safety of the wrestlers, the match was to be terminated and he would declare a winner.
The chief retired to his teepee and contemplated the great struggle he had witnessed, and found it extremely difficult to decide a winner. While the two young men had clearly outmatched the squaw, he found it difficult to force the squaw to relinquish her tribal championship. After all, it had taken two young men to finally provide her with a decent match. Finally, after much deliberation, the chief came out from his teepee, and announced his decision. He said...
"The Squaw of the Hippopotamus hide is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides"

Date: 2006-01-08 06:31 am (UTC)I love bad humour, and I'd always wondered what the joke was behind that expression (seeing as my dad's one of those EVIL PEOPLE who will quote the punchline of a joke but not benefit you with the lead-in)!
