After finding Dr. Livingstone,Stanley and his wife decided to tour Africa and were captured by some unfriendly natives,tied together with a long piece of leather,and left dangling over a large cliff.
That evening, the natives danced and chanted around the campfire,and as each member passed the leather strap holding the unfortunate couple,he gave it a whack with a stick, causing it to weaken a bit more.As the chanting grew louder and louder,Stanley looked at his wife romantically and said,
"Listen, darling.They're fraying our thong!"
