NASA and the Indians

[FireFinder]

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a
Navajo reservation in Arizona for training.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew walking
among the rocks. The elder, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question.His son
translated for the NASA people: "What are these guys in the big suits
doing?" One of the astronauts said that they were practicing for a trip to
the moon. When his son relayed this comment the Navajo elder got all
excited and asked if it would be possible to give to the astronauts a
message to deliver to the moon.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA official
accompanying the astronauts said,"Why certainly!" and told an underling to
get a tape recorder.

The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone were brief. The NASA
official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. The
son listened to the recording and laughed uproariously. But he refused to
translate.

So the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village and played it
for other members of the tribe. They too laughed long and loudly, but also
refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.

An official government translator was summoned. After he finally stopped
laughing, the translator relayed the message:

"WATCH OUT FOR THESE ASSHOLES. THEY HAVE COME TO STEAL YOUR LAND."
