THE CHIEF AND THE MISSIONARY

A missionary was in Africa to introduce the natives to Christianity and to the English language. One afternoon, he was walking in the jungle with the tribal chief, who would point out various items and want to know the English word. The chief pointed to a bush and the missionary replied, "In America we call that a bush". The chief replied, "Mmm. . .bush." This went on for quite awhile when all of sudden they stumbled upon a young couple making love. The chief stopped dead in his tracks and pointed. The missionary, obviously flustered, tried to think of something appropriate to say. Finally, he said, "Chief, in America we call that 'riding a bicycle'". 

The chief pulled out his dart gun, loaded it, and blew a large dart directly into the couple, killing both of them instantly. Shocked, the missionary yelled, "Chief, why did you do THAT?"

The chief pointed to the young woman and said, "My bicycle".
