Here's your hilarious joke:

A Cherokee chief had three wives, each of whom was pregnant... The first squaw gave birth to a boy, and the chief was so elated that he built her a teepee made of buffalo hide. A few days later, the second squaw gave birth, and also to a boy. The chief was extremely happy; he built her a teepee made of antelope hide. The third squaw gave birth a few days later, but the chief kept the details of the birth a secret. He built the third wife a teepee out of hippopotamus hide and challenged the people of the tribe to guess the details of the birth. Whoever in the tribe could guess correctly would receive a small prize. Several people tried, but they were unsuccessful in their guesses. Finally, a young brave came forth and declared that the third wife had delivered twin boys. "Correct!" cried the chief. "But how did you know?" "It's simple," replied the warrior. "The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides."
