Get ready to get beaver mooned.
I am not making that up.
The first full moon in November is called the beaver moon.
From The Old Farmer's Almanac
In response to:
November’s full Moon was called the Beaver Moon by a number of Native Americans and colonial Americans. Traditionally, some Native American groups used the monthly Moons and nature’s corresponding signs as a calendar to track the seasons.
Why this name? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient stores of food for the long winter ahead. During the time of the fur trade, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.

You were supporting those who made fun of Native Americans and those who
believe their ancestors were Native American.
Few people love humor more than me, nor write as many original jokes as me.
However, you will never hear me tell a joke that belittles anyone's ethnicity.
Even in an old joke, one can easily take the ethnicity out of a good joke, and it is still funny without
such a reference. If not, it was not a good joke.
Unlike others on here, I also do not change the word Republican nor Democrat
into something degrading. It is juvenile and dishonest.
On occasion I will joke about religion itself. But, I don't chastise people
of one religion over another and I state that it's OK to believe in something that doesn't exist.
Some of us used to believe in the tooth fairy, Santa, and the Easter Bunny.
