The Aboriginal 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 air, under 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 10 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 fellas 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 just fell out of the f*cking thing!"
