Here's another in a similar vein.
There's this indian tribe that used somewhat exotic skins for many of their traditional items. The tepees were made out of elephant skins, the canoes were made out of zebra skins, and some small containers were made from hyena and lion skins. The women would sit on various kinds of skins as they did their various cooking and craft duties. In this one particular village there was one particularly small woman, who sat on a hippo skin. She was so small that she only weighed as much as the two babies of the other women. In fact, the squaw on the hippopotamus was equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.
Groans are very appropriate, at this point.
