It was the world final of the lymerick telling competition and there was a tie for first place...so the judge decided that the only way to find a winner was to have a joke off....he announced that he would select someone from the audience and whatever word that person said the two finalist would have to say a lymerick that ended in that word the judge pointed to a guy and the guy stood up and yelled out Timbucktoo so the two finalist had to say a lymerick that ended in Timbucktoo the first guy got and said I've been a parson all my life saving people from sin and stife I've read the bible through and through all the way from oodnadatta to Timbucktoo (oodnadatta a place in Australia) the second guy got up and said: Tim and I a shearing went we met three sheilas in a tent they were three and we were two so I buck one and Timbucktoo .
