Bubba and Ray were bungee-jumping one day. Bubba says to Ray, you know, we
could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico."
Ray 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 at work. When they had
finished, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to
give a demonstration.
So, Bubba jumps. He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up,
Ray notices that he has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Ray
isn't able to catch him and he falls again, bounces and comes back up again.
This time, he is bruised and bleeding.
Again, Ray misses him. Bubba 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, Ray finally catches him this time and says,
"What happened? Was the cord too long?"
Barely able to speak, Bubba gasps, "No, the bungee cord was fine...It was the
crowd. What the hell is a piñata?"
