A Missionary Padre who has taught natives things to be self-sufficient
realizes that the one thing he never taught the natives was how to speak
English, so he takes the chief and starts walking in the forest. He
points to a tree and says to the chief, "This is a tree." The chief
looks at the tree and says, "Tree." The missionary is pleased with the
response. They walk a little farther and the padre points to a rock and
says, "This is a rock."
Hearing this, the chief looks and says, "Rock." The padre is really
getting enthusiastic about the results when he hears a rustling in the
bushes. As he peeks over the top, he sees a couple in the midst of heavy
sexual activity. The padre is really flustered and quickly says, "Riding
a bike." The chief looks at the couple briefly, pulls out his blow gun
and kills them. The padre goes ballistic and yells at the chief that he
has spent years teaching the tribe how to be civilized and kind to each
other, so how could he just kill these people in cold blood that way?
The chief replied, "MY bike."

all life seems nothing. Knowing is destroyed by thinking,
distilled into knowledge"
