[BITList] The Tracker

[John Feltham]

Just in from a man in the US!


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 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.

"Wow, man! How do you know all that?" asked one American.

The Aborigine replied, "I fell out of the fucking thing about
half an hour ago."
