An outside insurance salesman had lots of time on his hands so he bought a book and learned to be a ventriloquist. One day he was making cold call on the Navajo reservation.
Following custom, he honked his horn, waited beside his car for the man of the hogan to come out and invited him in, which he did. On the way to the house they passed the livestock pens. One contain the horse, the next a cow and the last the sheep.
As they passed the horse, the salesman asked if it was a good horse. The Navajo replied with few words.. "horse good..horse strong"
To amuse himself the sales man asked the horse how his master treated him and threw his voice and the horse answered. The man treats me good, but sometime he doesn't rub me down after I have been ridden. The Navajo didn't say anything, but was clearly taken aback.
Next they passed the cow and again the salesman asked if the cow was a good cow. The Navajo replied..."Cow good..good milk".
Again, the cow was asked how her master treated her and she answered.." he treats me good, but sometimes milks me with cold hands". Again the owner said nothing, but took it all in.
Next they came to she sheep and without missing a step, the Navajo said..."Sheep bad...sheep lie"
