| The Bacon Tree...
There are two Mexicans who have been lost in the desert for
a week and they're at death's door. As they stumble on,
hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something
similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a tree
off in the distance.
As they get closer they can see that the tree is draped
with rasher upon rasher of bacon. There's smoked bacon,
crispy bacon, life giving juicy nearly-raw bacon, all
sorts.
"Hey, Jose" says the first guy, "Ees a bacon tree! We're
saved!"
"You're right, amigo!" says Jose. So Jose goes on ahead and
runs up to the tree salivating at the prospect of food. But
as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there's the
sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of
bullets.
His friend quickly drops down on the sand and calls across
to the dying Jose. "Jose!Jose! Que pasa, hombre?" With his
dying breath Jose calls out,
"Ugh, run, amigo, run!"
"Ees not a Bacon Tree! Ees a... Ees a..."
"Yes, Jose? Ees a what..?"
Ees... a... Ham Bush."
