...well, i'm happy to supply these, but i do so with an urgent request: 
*please* post these to sci.anthropology when you collect them together;
and if it's not too much trouble, i'd also appreciate getting a copy
via e-mail...thanks so much.

P.S.  ...please don't blame me for how awful these are; i did *not* write 
      them...  :)

An anthropology graduate student went to Borneo for his thesis work.  He flew
there, found a guide with a canoe to take him up the river to the
remote site he where he would do his study.  About noon on the second
day of travel up the river they began to hear drums.  Being a city boy
by nature, the anthropologist was disturbed by this.  He asked the
guide, "What are those drums"  The guide turned to him and said "Drums
OK, but VERY BAD when they stop." 

Well, the anthropologist settled down a little at this, and things went
reasonably well for about two weeks.  Then, just as they were packing
up the camp to leave, the drums suddenly stopped!  This hit the
anthropologist like a ton of bricks (to coin a phrase), and he yelled
at the guide 
          "The Drums have stopped, What happens now?"

The guide crouched down, covered his head with his hands and said

                    "Bass Solo"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Another anthropologist arrives in Borneo to gather data for his thesis.
Accompanied by his trusty guide, he too seeks out a very remote locale
for his research.

Around dusk of the first day, he's sitting by the campfire with his
guide when in the distance, he hears tribal drums.  They get louder.
The guide announces, "I don't like the sound of those drums."

The dusk turns evening.  The drums get louder.  The guide says, "I really
don't like the sound of those drums."

Evening turns to dead of night.  The drums get louder and louder, until
it is obvious that the drummers must be quite close.  The guide says
again, "I *really* don't like the sound of those drums."

Suddenly the drums stop, and a voice from the darkness cries out,
"Hey man, he's not our regular drummer!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
An archaeology undergraduate signs up for his field school training in a 
emote part of Borneo.  He's heard stories of the seamier side of field work 
and hopes to enjoy himself sexually while there, but is troubled to discover
on his arrival that of 16 members, all are male.

On his second day, he asks a few of the men in his presence what they do for
fun...one of the grad students says, "Well, every Friday night someone takes
one of the land rovers into Tenzif village 50 miles away and brings back a few
prostitutes."  The undergrad thinks for a moment...he decides that the risk
of disease, especially with the lack of nearby medical facilities, is not 
worth the fun...so he replies, "I don't think that would interest me..."

One of the crew chiefs notes, "Well on Saturday nights, the project director
lets us take all three land rovers out; we pile in and all head out for
Tenzif so we can choose whatever prostitutes we want..."  The undergrad
quickly replies, "No, I really don't think that'd interest me?"

"Why?" asked the camp manager, "...are you gay?"  "Why, no" replied the
undergrad, to which the camp manager responded, "...then you won't like
Sunday nights either..."

Here's a dumb one that's probably been around a few times:
Q: How many Eskimos does it take to screw in a light bulb.
A: One, but only if he's Inuit.
(Say it out loud, and you'll get it.)
