English lessons

A priest was about to finish his tour of duty and
was leaving his mission in the jungle where he had
spent years teaching the natives, when he realized

that the one thing he had never taught them was

how to speak English.

So he took the chief for a walk in the forest.
He pointed to a tree and said to the chief,
"This is a tree."

The chief looked at the tree and grunted, "Tree."
The priest was pleased with the response.
They walked a little farther and he pointed to a
rock and said, "This is a rock."
Hearing this, the chief looked and grunted,
"Rock."

The priest was really getting enthusiastic about
the results when he heard a rustling in the
bushes.

As they peeked over the top, they saw a couple of
natives in the midst of heavy sexual activity.
The priest was really flustered and quickly
explained, "Man riding a bike."

The chief looked at the couple briefly, pulled
out his blowpipe and killed them.
The priest went ballistic and yelled at the chief
that he had spent years teaching the tribe how to

be civilized and kind to each other, so how could

he kill these people in cold blood that way?

The chief replied: "My bike."
