~Bungee Jump~ (Plus: Today in history, Word for the day, Today’s horoscope, Maxine and Herman)

Billy Bob & Harlan are bungee-jumping one day. Billy Bob says to Harlan, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico. They don't have it there."

Harlan 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 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. 

So Harlan jumps. He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up Billy Bob notices that he has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Billy Bob isn't able to catch him, and he falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time, he is bruised and bleeding. Again Billy Bob misses him. Harlan 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, Billy Bob finally catches him this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too long? Barely able to speak, Harlan gasps, "No, the Bungee cord was fine. It was the crowd. What the hell's a pinata?
