Cue Stan Freberg (do youself a favor and listen to the whole musical):
"""
Columbus: Hello there, hello there. We white men–other side of ocean. My name Christopher Columbus.
Native: Oh? You over here on a Fulbright?
Columbus: Huh? Uh, no,no, I’m over here on an Isabella, as a matter of fact. Which reminds me, I want to take a few of you guys back on the boat with me to prove I discovered you.
Native: What you mean, you discover us? We discover you.
Columbus: You discovered us?
Native: Certainly. We discover you on beach here. Is all how you look at it.
