| RANGI
and
WHETU of
Hokitika. Honi
died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly.
The
morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent
for his two best friends,
Rangi and Whetu.
The
three men had always done everything
together...
Rangi
arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the
sheet,
Rangi said, 'Yup, his face
is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him
over.'
The
mortician rolled him over and Rangi said, 'Nope,
ain't Honi .'
The
mortician thought this was rather
strange.
So
he brought Whetu
in to confirm the identity of the
body.
Whetu looked at the body and
said, 'Yup, he's pretty well burnt up.
Roll
him over.'
The
mortician rolled him over and Whetu said, 'No, it
ain't Honi '
The
mortician asked, 'How can you tell?'
Whetu
said, 'Well, Honi had two
assholes.'
'What?
He had two assholes?' asked the
mortician.
'Yup,
we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say:
'There's
Honi with them two assholes.'
