   When the Army decided to make the Arapahoe and Shoshone, traditional enemies, share the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, they kicked it off with a peace banquet. At the head table sat Sharpnose, various Army officers, the Shoshone leader Washakie, and a large bottle of Tabasco sauce. Waggish young lieutenant pretended to drink from the bottle and handed it to Washakie. The swig he took brought tears to his eyes. Seeing this, Sharpnose mocked, “Why does the great Washakie weep?” Thinking quickly, Washakie replied, “At times I am reminded of my brother, who was killed by Blackfeet, and I weep in memory of him.”. And handed the bottle to Sharpnose. “Why does the great Sharpnose weep?” “I am sad that when those Blackfeet killed Washakie’s brother, they didn’t kill Washakie, too!” – Paraphrased from Wild West magazine
