                    The joke is, you are on the point:
                
                Many a big-name anthropologist *coughmargaretmeadcough* has built a career on astonishing research that the informants fed them for their own amusement.  Wide-eyed
 naifs with notebooks and recorders are just begging to be diddled with, and one of the few universals among human cultures is a wicked sense of humor!

                I wonder how they know when they are being ripped off in exchange for their nuts.

                Wow! I am so amazed at the tidbits you find! So hard to imagine an existence without crunching numbers! This was worth a dandy chuckle! Thanks for your comment on my political poem! I just could not stay quiet any longer! Shelly

                    good for them. Some people just beg to be fooled.

                I'm wandering 
how many days it took the tribe to realize how they could get rid of these "idiots". I just can not believe this. It must be an hoax (?).
