I think Sandy is actually refering to an old joke:
-------------------------
The Lone Ranger and Tonto found themselves cornered in a box canyon by 
1,000 Apache braves, all screaming for the LR's blood after he had [grossly 
offended them in some arbitrary way].

As the Redskins approached from all directions, arrows and tomahawks
struck the bodies of Silver and Scout, behind which the two brave 
vigilantes had taken cover. Suddenly, the Lone Ranger ran out of 
ammunition (silver bullets are expensive). Turning to his faithful Native 
AmerIndian companion, the LR saw that Tonto, too,  was down to his last 
bullet. With tears staining his mask, he said:

"Well, old friend, it looks like this is it - I don't see any way we can get out
of here alive."

Tonto looked back at his mentor and master of so many years, deep in thought,
and came to a decision. Reaching into his shirt he produced an eagle feather. 
Sticking this in his hair, he leveled his gun at the Lone Ranger, and said:

"What's this 'we' bit, White Man?"

ObCrypto: Is it true that "Kemo Sabe" is Abanake for "Horse's Ass"?
