Aboriginal tracker.....
Posted: 02 Apr 2012, 11:49
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 air, or beneath the
sea.
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 tire is bald. The front end is out of whack and it has dents in every panel.
"There are 9 black fellas in the back, all drinking warm beer.
There the American tourists moved forward, astounded by this precise and detailed knowledge.
"Wow, man! How do you know all that?" asked one American.
The Aborigine replied, "I fell out of the f*****g thing about 15 minutes ago!!!!!!!!"
