Joke No. 211

The Old Red Indian

An old Red Indian and his spouse wanted to see a big
city. So they travelled to New York and were quite
awed by the sights of the city. Sights they'd never
seen before. Finally, as they needed a place to rest,
a passer by pointed to a hotel.

After checking in with much difficulty ( because they'd
never done this before) they were shown their room.
Finally finding it quite comfortable they soon fell asleep
for the night. Later the old Red Indian woke up thirsty
and asked his wife to get water, which she dutifully did.
Having drunk the water the Indian went back to sleep
only to wake up again a few hours later feeling thirsty.
His wife got him a tumbler of water which he gratefully
crank and was back asleep. However, a few hours later
he was up again and thirsty.

He sent his wife for water and this time she came back
with an empty tumbler. He asked her what happened.
She replied "White man sitting on well."
