As legend goes; there was an indian scout who was surrounded by
100 Apache warriors.  He fought for three days and killed 31
braves before they captured him alive.
The braves took him back to their camp to torture.  However,
the chief was so impressed with the scout's fighting ability
that he told him, "In honor of your great warrior spirt I will
grant you 2 requests before we feed you to the fire ants."
The scout thanked the chief and asked for a few moments alone
with his horse and 2 hours to meditate.  The chief thought this
to be resonable and granted the requests.  So the scout went
out and stroked his steed, wispered in it's ear, and slapped
it on the flank, allowing the horse to trot out of camp.
Then the scout retired to a tent to meditate.
Just prior to the end of the 2 hr meditation period the horse
came troting back into camp with a striking, buxom, bare female
astride.  WELL this really impressed the tribe and the chief.
So the chief said to the scout, "In honor of the training
of your fine horse and the willingness of your woman to die
by your side I will grant you 2 more requests."
The scout thanked the chief and again asked for time with his
horse and 2 hours of meditation.  This surprized the chief who
fiqured the scout would want to spend his last hours with his woman
but the chief granted the requests anyway.

So the scout went out and found his horse.  He scratched its ear,
petted its mane, and wispered in it's ear, "I said POSSE. POSSE."
