understand the
terms "squaw" is today an unacceptable racist epithet . . . is that true?>>

Hi Bill,

doesn`t stop me telling the old story of the Indian Chief who had three 
squaws who each slept on a buffalo hide.He called one squaw Running Bear, 
one squaw was Shining Water and the other he called Pythagoras.

When he was asked why she was called Pythagoras he replied that she was 
equal to the squaws on the other two hides.

Roll, Crash.

Cheers

Pat
