[Mixie]

A young zebra is troubled with a dilemma. He has no idea whether he's a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes. So he goes up to his mum.
"Mum", he says, "am I a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes?"
The mother has no idea, and says that probably his dad will know the answer. So he goes to his dad, asking him "dad, am I a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes?"
Dad has no clue, and suggests that his son goes to see the Owl, who is a very wise animal and will surely know the answer. And the young zebra trots off to the tree where Owl lives.
"Mister Owl, can I ask you a question?"
Upon which Owl answers, "but of course, my son, what is troubling you?"
"Well, you see, I'd really wish to know whether I'm a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes."
Owl chuckles and say, "oh, but that's very easy. You're a white zebra with black stripes."
The young zebra nods happily for a moment, content to finally have an answer, but then furrows his brow and asks, "how can you tell?"
"Well", Owl says, "that's quite easy. Had you been a black zebra with white stripes, you would've come up to me and said, 'yo Owl man, lemme axe you sum question thang...'"

(I hope nobody feels offended... *sheepish smile*)
