>Two guys are bungee-jumping one day. The first guy says to the second..
>"You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service
>in Mexico." The second guy thinks this is a great idea, so the two 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. The first guy jumps. He bounces at the
>end of the cord, but when he comes back up, the second guy notices that he has
>a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, the second guy isn't able catch him,
>he falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time, he is bruised
>and bleeding. Again, the second guy misses him. The first guy 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, the second guy
>finally catches him this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too
>long?" The first guy says, "No, the cord was fine, but what's a pinata?
