Alice and Frank were Bungee-jumping one day. Alice said to Frank,
"You know, we could make a lot of money running our own
bungee-jumping service in Mexico." Frank 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 Progresso,
Mexico and begin to set up on the square at the end of the bridge.
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. So, Alice jumps. She bounces
at the end of the cord, but when she comes back up, Frank notices
that she has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Frank isn't
able to catch her and she falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time, she's bruised and bleeding. Again, Frank misses
her. Alice falls again and bounces back up. This time she comes
back pretty messed up -- she's got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious. Luckily, Frank finally catches her this time and says,
"What happened? Was the cord too long?" Barely able to speak, Alice
gasps, "No, the bungee cord was fine...it was the crowd. What the
hell is a piñata?!"
