Gulf Kangaroo
Two businessmen fly to
Australia to play in a weekend golf tournament. Their team wins and
they both receive green tournament jackets.
On their last night they stay up drinking beer. In the
morning they are still drunk but they drive
their hire car to the airport. The
road is empty.
Suddenly something jumps in front of the car. The
driver can’t stop in time and the car hits the
animal.
A dead Kangaroo
The men get out of the car.
A large animal is lying on the road.
'It's a kangaroo,' said the other. 'We've killed a
kangaroo.'
The men begin to laugh. A kangaroo!
'We must take some photos,' says one.
Still laughing they take out their cameras. Then they
sit the kangaroo up against the car.
'Let's put a tournament jacket on it,' said one. 'That
will look really funny.'
So they dress the poor kangaroo in a green jacket. Then
they pose with him for more photos.
Not Dead Yet
Then something amazing
happens. A kangaroo eye opens.
He is not dead. And now he’s very angry.
The kangaroo punches the driver and knocks him out. He
knocks out the second man. Then he hops away into the
outback.
In the kangaroo’s new green jacket are the car
keys and a passport and the air tickets.
Later that day a motorist phones the police.
‘You’re not going to believe this,’
he says. ‘But a kangaroo in a green golf jacket
is hopping along the road to the airport!’
