Al and Frank were bungee-jumping one day. Al says to
Frank, "You know, we could make a lot of money running
our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico."
Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they 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 in 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, Frank notices that he has a few cuts and
scratches.
Unfortunately, Frank isn't able to catch him and he
falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This
time, he is bruised and bleeding.
Again, Frank 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, Frank 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 piņata???"
