Humor is in Everything
When I was young, I always tried doing bird calls, but I failed.
They just never sounded right.
I used to watch Tarzan.
You'd hear this call in the opening of what I thought was a monkey of some sort.
I learned to mimic it quite well.
I worked in a loud auto factory, and I would make that call to get peoples attention.
One day, a lady that heard me told me I did that bird call exceptionally well.
Bird Call?
Yep, that's a kookaburra, the national bird of Australia.
Since Tarzan was set in Africa, I was confused.
Turns out it was filmed in Florida.
Still doesn't make sense, I know.
So I'm looking it up, and I hear it, and yeah.. I sounded like it.
Awesome.
Then I found out kookaburra is aborigine for laughing jackass.
Great, I do one bird call and it's a laughing jackass.
