>They both have to be changed for the same reason!

Here is another one about politicians: A certain politician wanted to gather votes in an indigenous reserver. While he was giving a talk, he made all sorts of promises, for instance: "If I get elected, never again will the rights of indians in this region be trampled on...", "Indians will no longer be treated like second-class citizens", etc. While he was talking, the indians repeatedly shouted "Kachoonga, kachoonga!". While our hero didn't understand their language, he was happy about their enthusiasm.

After giving his talk, he asked the chief: "I understand you breed some fine horses here. May I see them?" To which the chief replied: "Sure. Just be careful, and don't tread on the kachoonga."
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
