a primitive native tribe in Africa is shook with disturbing news when it is learned that their chief can no longer pass gas. as this is their customary way of expressing contentment and gratitude after a community meal, a messenger is dispatched right away to the nearest town for a remedy. when the native boy reaches the town doctor, he is having difficulty communicating and the doctor can only make out 4 words
"Big chief, no fart"
realizing what tribe the boy comes from, the doctor gives him a can of brown beans and advises that the chief eat it to ease the symptoms. the next day however the boy messanger returns to the doctor and utters the same 4 words
"Big chief, no fart"
the doctor is slightly perplexed, but decides to give the boy 2 cans of brown beans to give to the cheif as their tribe generally shuns western medicine. but yet again the next day, the boy is back and repeats the same phrase
"Big chief, no fart"
the doctor is frustrated at this point, and decides to make a pot of his most potent chili with some tasteless lacitives added in for good measure. confident that this remedy will finally work, he gives the pot to the boy and sends him back to his tribe. the boy still comes back the next day though, this time noticeably depressed. the doctor sighs and throws up his arms in exasperation
"Don't tell me that big chief STILL no fart"
the boy shakes his head, and says
"Big fart, no chief"
