Aussie
Tracker
An Australian tour guide was showing a group of American
tourists
the
Top End On their way to Kakadu he was
describing the abilities
of
the Australian Aborigine to track man or beast over land,
through
The
Americans were incredulous.
Then later in the day, the tour rounded a bend on the highway
and
discovered,
lying in the middle of the road, an Aborigine.
He
had one ear pressed to the white line whilst his left leg was
held high in the air.
The tour stopped and the guide and the tourists gathered
around the prostrate Aborigine.
"Jacky," said the tour guide, "what are you
tracking and what are you listening for?"
The aborigine replied, "Down the road about 25 miles is a
1971 Valiant Ute.
It's
red. The left front tyre is bald. The front end is out of
whack and it has dents in every panel.
There
are 9 blackfellas in the back, all drinking warm sherry. There
are 3 kangaroos on the roof
rack
and 6 dogs on the front seat."
The
American tourists moved forward, astounded by this precise and
detailed knowledge.
"Goddammit man, how do you know all that?" asked
one.
The Aborigine replied, "I fell out of the f****** thing
about half an hour ago."
