dicksbro,
How about this one I recall (not directly) from Euclid?
"A chief had three daughters. When they came of age, he married them off."
"With the first he gave as a wedding gift, a beautiful Black Bear hide for power. He gave a Deer’s’ hide to the husband of the second. At the wedding of the third daughter, the apple of his eye, he gave the happy couple a truly dazzling gift! It was a hippopotamus hide rug which the chief had just received in trade with one of those newly discovered White Men."
"In due course, the first squaw gave birth to a healthy son. A son was also given to the second squaw. The third squaw, however, had twins!"
"Now class, does anyone know why?"

"Didn’t ANYONE prepare Proposition 47 for today’s class?"
.

"You there! Little Johnny! Can you tell me why the Chief’s third daughter had twins?"
.
.

“Um... er... ah, is it because the Squaw on hippopotamus is equal to the Sum of the Squaws on the other two hides?"
