Two guys are bungee-jumping one
day. The first guy says to the second.
"You know, we could make a
lot of money running our own bungee-jumping
service in Mexico."
The second guy thinks this is a
great idea, so the two pool their money and
buy everything they'll need - a
tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.
They travel to Mexico and begin
to set up on the square. As they are
constructing the tower, a crowd
begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more
people gather to watch them at
work.
The first guy jumps. He bounces
at the end of the cord, but when he comes
back up, the second guy notices
that he has a few cuts and scratches.
Unfortunately, the second guy
isn't able catch him, he falls again, bounces
and comes back up again.
This time, he is bruised and
bleeding. Again, the second guy misses him.
The first guy falls again and
bounces back up. This time, he comes back
pretty messed up - he's got a
couple of broken bones and is almost
unconscious.
Luckily, the second guy finally
catches him this time and says, "What
happened? Was the cord too
long?"
The first guy says, The damned
cord was fine, but what the hell is a pinata?"
