 Neglecting the ethnological inaccuracies.......


 OK, so this guy has crashed his aircraft in the Australian outback and, 
 being lost, sets off to walk.  After days of hardship and deprivation
 he comes across an aborigine vilage. He is nearly dead but manages to 
 crawl into the village, noticing that its name is "MERCY".
 
 Well, the aborigines feed and care for him and arrange a magnificent
 feast in his honour. The meal is lavish and he is given the position
 of honour next to the Head Man who offers him a special drink which
 is an infusion made from koala bears and which is only made in this
 particular village. On drinking it, the man finds the taste acceptable
 but gags on the bits of fur and bone and asks the Head Man why they
 make it like this. The Head Man replies:

" Ah, you see......























 ....the koala tea of Mercy is not strained"
