Al and Joe are 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. They don’t have it there.”
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 setting up in the square. As they construct the tower, a crowd assembles. More and more people gather to watch.
When they finish, the crowd is so large they decide to give a demonstration.
Al jumps. He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up, Joe notices cuts and scratches.
Joe fails to catch him. Al falls again, bounces, and comes up bruised and bleeding. Joe misses him again.
Al falls once more and bounces back up, this time badly injured with broken bones and nearly unconscious. Joe finally catches him 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?”
