Hippo:
Oh, excuse me, Buddha, sir ... excuse me. I was wondering if you could tell me .. sir , what I did in my past lives to become a hippo?

Buddha:
You ate too much

Hippo:
Well, yah, I was afraid of that ... uh well what can I do to change it?

Buddha:
Go on a diet

Hippo:
A diet?! Isn't there some other way?

Buddha:
No, I'm sorry, I really am.
