For as long as anyone could remember, this Indian chief was in charge of naming all the children that were born in the tribe. One day, this brave comes up to him and says, “Chief, can I ask you something? How do you name these children? How do you think of their names?” And the chief says, “It’s very simple. When a child is born, and I see snow gently falling, I say, ‘You shall be called Snow Gently Falling.’ And when a child is born and I see a hawk flying over, I say, ‘You shall be named Hawk Flying Over.’ But tell me, Two Dogs Fucking, why are you so interested?”
