Indian: What you mean "discover us"? *We* discover *you*.

Stan Freberg read my piece already? That guy's quick.

Flip Wilson may also be somewhat in your debt. "...A fine little Indian
girl ... a fine little /West/ Indian girl ... Chris says ' We come to
discover 'merica, come to discover you-all.' 'You can't discover nobody
if'n they don't want to be discovered! You better discover yo' ass away
from here!' " OWTTE.

"The American colonists said, 'We discovered new lands and territories.'
Hey, if you believe that, I can go to court and say, 'Your honor, I was
exploring some fire escapes and discovered this man's apartment. I planted
my flag in his living room and now all his stuff is mine!'"
