Long ago, all people were Black. Then God made a special lake which would turn a person's skin white when he bathed in it. God sent an animal to each tribe, telling them where the lake was. To the Africans, God sent an iguana. If you've ever seen an iguana walk, you'll know how slow they can be (they move each leg back and forth a couple of times before taking the next step.) By the time the iguana had reached the Africans, the lake was already drying up. Add to this the fact that Africans were a naturally lazy people, and it comes as no surprise that by the time they got to the lake it was but a mere puddle. In desperation, they walked over to the puddle and bent over putting their hands flat on the ground to mop up the remaining splodges. That's why Africans are black, apart from the soles of their feet and the palms of their hands. It's also why they hate iguanas.
