I know the ad you are talking about but I had to use quite a lot of imagination to see mules! Fun though

lmbo.... sorry susan, but they ran outta mules and stole these buffalos from the indians
the advantage is .... they only need 3

you won't use the letter "a" to denote ass, but you'll refer to Native Americans as "indians" :(

living in that circa, indians were ripped off

Didn't they sponsor the 'Cowboys and Indians' western show? That goes back a long time. I'm enjoying the trips down memory lane, Tom. Keep 'em coming. :o)

i'll try Mrs, thx

Speaking of terminology, many American Indians do not like the term "Native American." Here is an explanation from wikipedia:

Native Americans are more commonly known as Indians or American Indians. The term Native American was originally introduced in the United States by academics in preference to the older term Indian to distinguish the indigenous peoples of the Americas from the people of India, and to avoid negative stereotypes supposedly associated with the term Indian. Because of the acceptance of this newer term in academic circles, some academics believe that Indians should be considered as outdated or offensive. Many actual indigenous Americans, however, prefer American Indian. Also, some people point out that anyone born in the United States is, technically, native to America, and that the academic who first promoted Native American confused the term native with indigenous.

Russell Means, an American Indian activist, opposes the term Native American because he believes it was imposed by the government without the consent of American Indians. He has also argued that this use of the word Indian derives not from a confusion with India but from a Spanish expression En Dio, meaning "in God".

A 1995 US Census Bureau survey found that more Native Americans in the United States preferred American Indian to Native American. Nonetheless, most American Indians are comfortable with Indian, American Indian, and Native American, and the terms are often used interchangeably.

thx T

Fun!
