Two old hunters, pith helmets and all, are sitting in an African bar
arguing;

#1 - "I tell you it's W..H..U..M..B Whumb!"

#2 - "No it isn't, it's W..O..O..M Woom!"

#1 - "It has to be W..H..U..M..B Whumb!"

#2 - "Nope. W..O..O..M Woom! - No Question about it."

The local midwife is also in the bar, and has overheard this
argument. She decides to put them straight;

Midwife - "Gentlemen, I'm sorry but I couldn't help overhearing
your conversation, and I'm sure I can settle your dispute. I have
been a midwife for forty years so I can assure you both that the
correct spelling is W..O..M..B Womb!"

Hearing this, one of the hunters looks up at the midwife and says;

#1 - "Madam, I doubt that you have ever been near a hippopotamus,
and have certainly never heard one fart underwater!"
