I think babies cry because they know instinctively that the government is going to raise taxes.

They say Indian babies do not cry, so that they are not found by wild animals. I will tell you the real reason. The Tiknakgan, which we know as a papoose trapper knelson, also doubled as a sleigh. The long wraps of thong could be arranged to tow the child (hence the expression tow-head) about 10 to 15 feet behind. Since the baby whimpering could not be heard, they evolved to try other attention getting tactics, which leads to the expression, "you jerking my chain"?

This tactic was also useful for attracting wild animals which could then be trapped easily. The common native second name "Bait" as in Wolf Bait, Fox Bait, etc.. is an illustration of this.'

Ok, I'll quit for now.

I had thot the most common dream was of falling. And when you awake you find yourself on the floor.
