Ha ha... well, I wonder 'what' he will incarnate as...

 

Reminds me of a story, set in pre-colonial America:

 

It seems that a white settler was captured by a

tribe of fierce, pissed-off indians. He and his companions

were well aware that they would be subject to days of

horrible tortures before finally being executed.

 

As one of his companions was being subject to

horrible tortures, the settler began laughing.

 

The chief walked over and asked him what was so

funny.

 

'Well, chief, I am laughing because your medicine man

ain't worth shit. "

 

Upon hearing this, the medicine man ran over and

began yelling curses. The settler simply laughed louder.

 

" Ok, wise guy " said the chief, " What is wrong with my

medicine man? "

 

" Your medicine man does not know the secret formula

for physical invulnerability. But I know it. "

 

This gave the two indians pause. Could this profane white

man really have such knowledge?

 

" Tell us of the formula, or we will kill you! " said the chief.

 

" Let me make the formula, apply it to my neck, and if you

can chop my head off, I am a fool " , said the settler.

 

" Deal!' said the chief, smiling to the medicine man.

 

" Now untie me, and bring a basket and accompany

me into the forest " , said the settler.

 

" The time is not right to gather certain of the necessary

herbs, " said the settler, " some will have to be gathered

at midnight, and others at dawn. "

 

" It is usually so " , said the medicine man.

 

So for the next day, herbs were gathered. Of course, the

settler had a nice dinner and slept in a nice bed, so that

he would cooperate in compounding the formula.

 

At midday, the settler began mixing, mashing, boiling

and otherwise preparing many herbs and fungi.

 

" There is one ingredient I hesitate to mention, chief,

for fear of making you angry " , said the settler.

 

" And what is that, white man? You can tell me, I am a chief. "

 

" Well, chief, I must obtain, in a certain way, the sexual

secretions of your teenage daughter " .

 

" What! " said the astonished chief; " What 'way' are you

talking about? "

 

" I must make love to her, and the dew which forms on

her flower, is the final and most important ingredient

to this secret invulnerability formula. Without that special

ingredient, the formula is worthless. "

 

" Well, white man... you may make love with my daughter,

but understand, that if this formula does not work, you

are doomed! "

 

" Understood, chief. Please have me meet me in your

hut " .

 

And so, the settler made love with the chief's daughter

for several hours, periodically adding the special ingredient

to the herb-mash.

 

Finally, the settler called the chief and the medicine

man over.

 

" I will now rub this ointment on my neck, and chief,

I want you to pick up the sharpest axe you can find. "

 

So doing, the settler laid his neck on a log, and said:

 

" Ok, chief, try as hard as you can. Try to chop off my

head! "

 

Bringing the axe back, the chief made a mighty swing,

and removed the settler's head in one blow.

 

Both the chief and the medicine man laughed heartily,

at the foolishness of the white settler.

 

" Har har! What a fool! Invulnerability ointment, my ass! "
