An Indian boy finally reached the age of manhood and the Chief called him into his teepee. The Chief told the boy that, if he was to become a brave, he must first learn the great secret of sex. Afterward, the Chief explained the mechanics of copulation to the boy and ordered him to go deep into the woods to a specific location. At this location, he'd find a great fallen oak with a knothole, upon which the Chief instructed the boy to _practice_ until he finally learned the secret. At nightfall, the boy went off into the woods while the tribe gathered around a campfire to talk and smoke. However, after only half an hour, they heard screaming from the woods. The Chief rose to his feet just as the boy staggered into the camp, holding his private parts and moaning in agony. The Chief asked the boy if he'd learned the great secret of sex. When the boy answered "no," the Chief frowned and ordered him back to the woods ... telling him not to come back until he'd learned the secret. So, the boy staggered back into the forest and the Chief returned to the campfire. After a short time, the tribe heard unusual noises coming from deep in the woods ... noises that sounded like "tapping" or "banging" on wood. But, as quickly as they heard the noise, it went away and the tribe thought nothing more of it. Then, after another hour, the boy re-entered the camp with a big smile on his face. This time, when the Chief asked him if he'd learned the great secret of sex, the boy said "yes." The Chief smiled and said, "Then you are no longer a boy... but a brave ... and you shall marry a squaw I choose for you tomorrow." The next day, the brave was married to a beautiful squaw and they retired to the conjugal teepee. Immediately, the brave began issuing orders. "Hmmm! Squaw take-em off clothes." She complied. "Hmmm! Squaw turn around, face away." She complied. "Hmmm! Now squaw bend-em over." She complied ... and the brave picked up a large stick from the ground and swung it fiercely ... striking the squaw right in her twat. The screaming squaw ran from the conjugal teepee straight to the Chief's teepee ... the brave following close behind. The Chief halted the brave as he approached, shouting "What have you done to this squaw? Have you not learned the great secret of sex?" "Yes," the brave replied resolutely. "I have learned the secret." The Chief folded his arms in a disbelieving manner. "Then tell me, what _is_ the great secret of sex?" The brave looked around himself nervously and grabbed his private parts, saying, "Before having sex, you must first check ... for bees."
