I love Brendas story about the Navajo and NASA. It reminded me of a joke a Hopi priest told me while sitting around a campfire eating corn at his field.
One day a tourist couple (Pahanna's.. White people) were walking in one of the Hopi villages while visiting there. They came upon an old Hopi man working on his car. All they could see were his feet sticking out and as they walked by they heard..
"God damnit, son of a bitch..."
The couple stopped and were stricken, the man looked at his wife in amazement. As they stood there once again they heard...
"Shit.... Godamn Son of a Bitch...."
Well the man looked at his wife and proceeded to kick the old mans feet and said
"Hey.... watch your language!!"
The old Hopi man looked out from under his car and gazed at the two Pahanna's.. and finally said..
"It's not my language.. It's yours" and went back to work..
