Mmm, Bacon…
Two Mexican guys are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death. They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden …
‘Hey Jose, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon.’
‘Si, Luis eet smells like bacon to meee.’
So, with renewed strength, they struggle up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.
There’s raw bacon, dripping with moisture, there’s fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon … every imaginable kind of cured pig meat.
‘Jose, Jose, we is saved. ‘Eees a bacon tree.’
‘Luis, are you sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the Desert don’t forget.’
‘Jose when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon…. ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree’.
And with that … Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 meters, Jose following closely behind, when all of a sudden, a machine gun opens up, and Luis is cut down in his tracks. It is clear he is mortally wounded but, a true friend that he is, he manages to warn Jose with his dying breath.
‘Jose… go back man, you was right ees not a bacon tree.’
‘Luis, Luis mi amigo…. what ees it?
‘Jose … ees not a bacon tree…
Ees.
Ees.
Ees.
Eees a ham bush!!
