Old Indian

An old Indian walks into a bar one afternoon. He sits down and tells the bartender he wants a drink but has no money.


"Sorry", says the bartender, "but I cant serve you if you cant pay."


Well the Indian thinks for a minute then says, "Tell ya what, you blindfold me then lay a pelt down on the bar and I'll feel of it, tell you what it is, what the quality of it is and what it was killed with. If I am right you give me a drink and if not I'll leave."


The bartender thought that was fair enough so he blindfolds the old man and lays out a bear skin on the bar. The old Indian rubs his hand over the pelt a few times and says, "Bear, fair quality. killed with a .30/06".


The bartender was amazed..."Thats exactly right, what are ya drinkin?"


"Whiskey", says the old man.


After finishing his drink the Indian makes the deal again....this time the bartender lays out the hide of a mountain goat. Again the old Indian rubs his hand back and forth across the pelt the says, "Mountain goat, good quality, killed with a bow and arrow."


The bartender is astonished and again gives the old man some more whiskey. After a short period a woman sitting next to the old Indian screams and jumps up and runs out the door. The bartender asks, "What was that all about?"


The old man says "Beaver, poor quality, hit with an axe."
