Alice and Frank are Bungee-jumping one day. Alice says to Frank, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico near one of the resorts."

Frank thinks this is a great idea. So they pool their money and buy everything they will need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc. They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on a city square. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them 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 on her. Unfortunately, Frank isn't able to catch her and sh e falls again, bounces, and comes back up again. This time, she is bruised and bleeding. Again, Frank is unable to grab hold of her. Alice falls a third time and bounces back up. This time she comes back pretty messed up. She has a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious. Luckily Frank is finally able to grab her and pull her back to the tower.

"What the hell happened?" he asked. "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 piƱata??"
