"Bungee Jumping In Mexico"*

*While Al and Joe were bungee jumping one day.
Al says to Joe, "You know, we could make a lot of
money running our own bungee jumping service in Mexico."

Joe 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 on the square.

As they are constructing the tower a crowd begins
to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather
to watch them 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, Joe notices that he has a few cuts
and scratches. Unfortunately, Joe isn't able to catch
him, and he falls again, bounces again and comes back up again.

This time he is bruised and bleeding. Again Joe 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 Joe
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 HECK IS A PIÑATA?"
