Funny Poop
A Priest was about to finish his tour of
duty in the jungle where he has spent years teaching the natives to be
civilized and kind to each other when he realizes that the one thing he never
taught them was how to speak English. So
he takes the chief for a walk in the forest. He points to a tree and says to the chief,
"This is a tree."
The chief looks at the tree and grunts, "Tree."
The Priest is pleased with the response. They walk a little further and he points to a
rock and says, "This is a rock."
Hearing this, the chief looks and grunts, "Rock."
The Priest was really getting enthusiastic about the results
when he hears a rustling in the bushes. As
they peek over the top, he sees a couple of natives in the midst of heavy
sexual activity. The Priest is really
flustered and quickly responds, "Man riding a bike."
The chief looks at the couple briefly, pulls out his blowgun and
kills them both..
The Priest goes ballistic and yells at the chief that he has
spent years teaching the tribe how to be civilized and be kind to each other,
so how could he kill these people in cold blood that way?
The chief replied, "My bike."
