Joke-Language

A Cherokee Indian was a special guest at an elementary class. He talked to the children about his tribe and its traditions, then shared with them this fact:
"There are no swear words in the Cherokee language."
One boy raised his hand, "But what if you' hammering a nail and accidentally smash your thumb?"
"That," the fellow answered, "is when we use your language."
