All afternoon a real estate agent had been showing a young couple
empty houses. The ones they loathed always seemed to be available,
but others had already snapped up the ones that struck their fancy.
Finally they came to a house at the very edge of town and fell in
love with it.

"Please," they begged, "tell us that this one we can have."

"It's yours," beamed the agent.
"It's last .... but not leased!

When an Indian shaman succeeded in driving an evil spirit out of a
beautiful maiden of the tribe, she exclaimed, "Thank you very much!" and
proceeded to hug the medicine man.

The Shama's wife was angered by the maiden's touching gesture of gratitude,
and told the maiden in no uncertain terms ... not to squeeze the Shaman!

	In South America, curare is not expensive but deer meat
	is. Since the natives can no longer rely on their own
	resources for obtaining the latter, they have to purchase
	it from professional hunters', often trading curare for
	venison.  This has given rise locally to the expression,
	"An ounce of pro venison is worth a pound of curare."
