Headhunters

With apologies to Neil Konouchi (see Page H3).

A missionary was going in to the most remote section of Africa. He found a native that would take him upstream to a tribe of headhunters cut off from civilization. In the distance they could hear drums.

“What is that drumming?” he asked nervously.

The native replied, “Drums OK, but if they stop it would be very bad.”
