Laughing Quotes……..

[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication,

Tuesdays’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Excuse me, what did you say?”
“Magua said he understands the English very well.”

Answer: The Last of the Mohicans!
This movie is set during The French and Indian War in 18th century North America. In the events leading up to this scene, Huron Indian scout Magua (Wes Studi) is leading a column of British soldiers, British Colonel Munro’s two daughters, and frontiersman Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) to Colonel Munro at Fort William Henry (Magua calls him “Grey Hair”). In this scene British Major Duncan Heyward (Steven Waddington) instructs Magua by saying, “You there, scout. We must rest soon, the women are tired.” Magua wants to stop further ahead where the water is better but he is overruled by Major Heyward. When a displeased Magua mutters in the Huron language (with subtitles), “Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.” Major Heyward says line one. Magua replies, this time in English, with line two. In the 1993 Academy Awards “The Last of the Mohicans” won the Oscar for Best Sound. The opening credits of this movie, superimposed on the Adirondack Mountains in NY, with the great theme music, is spectacular on a wide screen.

Wednesday’s Quizzler is…….
Once upon a time, a couple centuries ago, in a cold, harsh winter, three men were about to be executed. It was customary in their land to feed everyone who is about to be executed a last meal, consisting of whatever they want.

So, the first man says, “I am an old, poor fellow, and my whole family was vegetarian except for me. Therefore, I would like to eat one last chicken before I die”. His wish was granted, but right when he finished the last bite, the executioner killed him on the spot.

The second man asks for a pie. “My family is extremely poor, and we have never had the money to buy sweets, or anything of any sort of delicacy. So before I die, I would like the chance to taste a pie, the food I have been dreaming about for years.”

The executioner agreed, but right when the poor man finished the last piece, he was also killed on the spot. Finally, it was the third man’s turn. Without even taking a second to think, he said “I would like some strawberries”. The executioner burst out laughing. “I’m sorry”, he sputtered, “I just can’t understand why you would want to eat STRAWBERRIES of all things right before you die. Out of all the delicious foods you could have picked, why strawberries?”

What was the third man’s reply which allowed him to live?
