I cannot resist joining the fracas.
A missionary visited a remote aboriginal village. The villagers maintained a constant drumming all day and all night. It got on his nerves. After a week, he started asking if they could please stop. "Oh no. Drums no stop. If drums stop, BAD thing happen". So the missionary got on with his work. Days went past, and he was starting to lose his mind. "Why, why, what is so awful that you can't stop the drumming? It can't be worse than having to live like this!" The reply came again, "No no! Drums no stop! Drums stop... bad, bad, bad thing happen!". Nobody would tell the missionary what was this awful consequence, and this soon made him even crazier than the incessant drumming. Finally, after weeks of this, the missionary was coming undone. He went to see the village elder, begging, "Please, please, tell me, what is the awful, terrifying thing that happens if the drumming were to stop?!" The chief regarded him for a while, then took pity on him and decided to share the awful secret, "When drums stop, then... bass solo!"
That one was great!
