An explorer was marching deep into the African jungle. After a few days, he began to hear drums in the distance. He asked his guide what they meant.

The guide said, “Drums okay. Drums not bad. When drums stop, then very bad.”

As they marched deeper into unknown territory, the drums got louder. The explorer began to get nervous.

“Are you sure these drums are okay?” he asked his guide.

“Drums okay,” said the guide. “Drums not bad. But when drums stop, VERY bad.”

Two more days they marched into the dense jungle. All the while the drums grew louder and closer.

Then, quite suddenly, they stopped.

Panicked, the explorer said, “The drums have stopped! What happens now?”

The guide fell to the ground, quivering. He covered his head with his arms, and whispered, “Guitar solo.”
