Timbuktu Once in a quizshow. There were an Australian and a priest competing against each other. Their scores were equal, so they had to create a verse about ""Timbuktu"". The priest began: ""I was a father, all my life, had no children, had no wife. I read the Bible, through and through. On my way to Timbuktu."" Then the Australian told his version: ""When Tim and I to Brisbane went, we met three ladies cheap to rent. They were three and we were two, so I booked one and Tim booked two!""
