So bad, it has to be explained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al and Joe two guys are bungee jumping one day. Al says to Joe, "You know, we could make a lot of money renting our very own bungee-jumping service in Mexico. They don't have it down 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, and all.

They travel down 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 to the large crowd below!

So Al jumps...........

Al 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 goes down again, bounces, and comes back up.

This time, he is bruised and bleeding.

Again, Joe misses him. Al falls again and bounces back up.This time, he is 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 hell is a pinata?"

















The Mexican tradition of pinatas at parties or fiestas.

Pinatas are cardboard figures, stuffed with candy and hung by a rope to be lowered and raised into the crowd of revellers.

Members of the crowd are blindfolded, spun around several times to lose their orientation, and then given a stick and requested to hit the pinata. The onlookers cheer and when the pinata is finally split open the candy spills out, all rush to gather the goodies.
