A professor was sent to the deepest, darkest of Africa to live with a
primitive tribe. He spent years there, teaching them how to read, write,
do math and science projects. One day the youngest and prettiest wife
of the tribe's chief gave birth to a white child. The members of the
tribe were shocked.
The chief pulled the professor aside and said, " You're the only white
man we've EVER seen and my youngest wife has given birth to a white
child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"
The professor replies, "No, Chief. You're mistaken. What we have here is
a natural, biological occurrence... what we in the civilized world call
an albino! For example, look in that field over there. All of the sheep
are white except for one black one. Nature does this on occasion."
The chief descends into deep thought for a long moment and then says:
"You say nothing more about the sheep and I'll sell the albino story."
