Brussels, Belgium
Lacombe: "Welcome to our International Conference of Archaeologists, our keynote speaker tonight is Indiana Jones."Indiana: "It's great to be here in Brussels, I wasn't well received in Milan the other day, anyway let me introduce my staff, Amy, the Deaf intern, and her interpreter, Ricky, and Mutt, my son. When I saw the 1880 census and discovered a significant population of Deaf at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, and became curious of its origin, we know about migration pattern since the stone age, across the Bering Sea, origin of slavery of Negros, but there is no studies on the Deaf themselves, a subcultural entity in our society that we can't denied its existence. Amy, my intern, have provide me with the sociological background, and clear up some of my preconceived myths such as sign language being universal, no apology to Margaret Mead. Mutt have been to Paris done some research with the Lacombe team, and came up with an interesting theory, that the Deaf once populate Atlantis, a lost ancient, however an advance civilization, in the vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle. We were on a search to find these stone tablets, Mutt here with one from Corsica, the conclusion is that these are markers, perhaps beacons as coordinates from space, to assist aliens navigating manually in an emergency, to prevent mishaps like the recent incident at Roswell, ranchers there reported seeing aliens signing before they died, the Blue report stated that no auditory organs were found on the bodies during autopsy. We believes that they somehow evolved into our human form, through mating, having the same chromosomes as we do. Stone tablets indicated that they were search teams seeking a suitable island to interact with humans before going on the mainland, after abandonment of Atlantis, to conceal their origin. Advanced technology were exported back to their planet. Memory of their ancesters faded over time, except their visual language, they choose Martha's Vineyard because in America, there is hope their culture will survive for generations, even the threat of oralism, their genes are unique, in which it is impossible to manipulate in a search for a cure, as Darwinism goes, survival of the species at its best, in this case, gave us assurances that our Deaf Culture, and American Sign Language will remain with us forever, despite all the obstacles in our way. (applaus, standing ovation)
Amy: "I'm going to the Expo, the ark is on display at the American pavilion."
Indiana: "Where is Mutt."
Amy: "I think he's in the Atomium."
Lacombe: "I think you better be prepared to bail Mutt out of jail."
Indiana: "Is he drinking again?"
Lacombe: "He took his Harley Davidson KHK into the Atomium spinning around inside."
Amy: "Probably saw the Russian bears performed the same feat at the Moscow Circus." (smile)
Ricky: "The security is on its way."
Washington, DC
Senator Joseph McCarthy: "Indiana, do you have a statement to make?"
Indiana: "Up yours!" (applause in the chamber, Mutt came in with his Harley Davidson KHK, Indiana hops on, rushes to Kendall Green, just in time)
Indiana: "I want to thank Leonard M. Elstad for inviting me to your commencement, sorry I have to decline his offer of a tenure position, because I taking a year off on sabbatical, as there are so much to explore in this world. Gallaudet is the center of the universe, generations of Deaf people have left its mark on this world. I want to keep my speech short, If it belongs in a museum, then it belongs in a museum!" (hands in air in show of applause)
Grand Rijah: "Tonight we are honored to induct Indiana Jones into the Kappa Gamma fraternity."
Indiana: "I'll uphold the traditions of the Kappa Gamma fraternity being of service to the campus and the community."
Rijah: "Here's your ropes, hope you'll stay for the reception." (Indiana staring at a familiar object.)
Indiana: "The crystal skull, the symbol of your fraternity, have I seen it somewhere before?"
