A hiker is traveling through the mountains with two Native
Americans when they begin approaching a cave. Upon seeing the cave, one of the
natives runs up to the opening, cups his hands to his mouth and calls, “Whoop
whoop!” Moments later, a woman’s voice calls back, “Whoop whoop!” upon which
the native runs inside.
Curious, the hiker asks the other native what was happening, to
which she replies, “This is our local marriage ritual. If someone calls, ‘Whoop
whoop’ into a cave, then hears someone call, ‘Whoop whoop’ back, it means they
have marriage on their mind.” The hiker muses on this with intrigue as they
continue on their journey; presently, they come to another cave, which the
other native runs up to and calls, “Whoop whoop!” Immediately, she hears a
man’s voice call back, “Whoop whoop!” and happily runs inside.
As the hiker continues on alone, he presently comes to a huge
cave. “Mercy,” he exclaims. “There must be a big beautiful woman in there
waiting to get married!” Ever hopeful, he calls, “Whoop whoop!” Shortly, he
hears back, “WHOOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP!” He gasps, “Oh, what a lovely voice!” The
hiker then runs into the cave excitedly.
The headlines in the
newspaper read, “Hiker run over by train.”
