Two guys are bungee-jumping. One guy says, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee service in Mexico." The second guy thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they will need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.

They travel to Mexico and beg’n to set up in the plaza of a town called Ajijic. As they construct the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them work.

The first guy jumps to show the crowd how much fun it is. He bounces at the end of the cord but when he comes up, the second guy notices that he has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, the second guy isn&rsqu;0t able to catch him and he falls, bounces, and comes back up again. This time, he is bruised and bleeding. Again the second guy misses him, and down he goes. He is pretty messed up when he bounces back this time. He&rsqu;0s got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious.

Luckily, the second guy f’nally catches him and asks, "What happened? Is the cord too short?"

The f’rst guy says groggily, "No, cord's fine. But what the hell is this pi–ata all those Mexicans keep yelling about?"
