A Rajastani, who had spent his whole life in the desert, comes to visit a friend.
He'd never seen a train or the tracks they run on. While standing in the middle
of the rail tracks one day, he hears this whistle -- Whooee da Whoee! -- but doesn't
know what it is.
Predictably, he's hit and is thrown to the side of the tracks. It was only a glancing
blow, so he was fortunate to receive some minor internal injuries, a few broken
bones, and some bruises.
After weeks in the hospital recovering, he's at his friend's house attending a
party one evening. While in the kitchen, he suddenly hears the teakettle whistling.
He grabs a iron rod from the nearby shelf and proceeds to batter and bash the
teakettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal. His friend, hearing the ruckus,
rushes into the kitchen, sees what's happened and asks the desert man, "Why did
you ruin my good tea kettle?" The desert man replies, "You have to kill these
things when they're small."
