Doing Business in Mexico
May 8, 2019 15:17:10 #
Al and John are in the bungee-jumping business. One day. Al says to John,
"You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico."
John thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy new 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.
When they had finished, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration. So Al jumps.
He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up, John notices that he has a few cuts and scratches.
Unfortunately, Joe is not able to catch him, and he falls again, bounces and comes back up again.
This time, he is bruised and bleeding. Again John misses him.
Al 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, John finally catches him this time and says,
"What happened? Was the cord too long?"
Barely able to speak, Al gasps,
"No, the bungee cord was fine, it was the crowd.... What the hell is a Piñata?"

Good story but I guessed what the punch line was going to be after the second time Al bounced back up. After all, Mexico is famous for piñatas, among other things.
