Ted and John wanted to get away from the countryside
 and see the world. One day Ted said to his brother
 "You know, we could do really well setting up
 our bungee-jumping service in Mexico".

 John thought this was a great idea, so the two pooled
 their money and bought all the equipment they needed.

 They traveled to Mexico and began to set up a tower
 near the center of the town for good publicity.
 As they began building the tower, a crowd assembled
 nearby. Slowly more and more people gathered to
 watch them work.

 They were excited at having such a big audience
 that Ted decided to jump and show his prospective
 clients all about bungee jumping.

 He bounced at the end of the cord. When he
 came back up, John noticed that he had a few cuts
 and scratches. As he flew by, John asked if the
 cord was too long. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to
 catch him. So Ted fell again, bounced and came back up.

 This time Ted was seriously bruised and bleeding.
 Again, John just missed catching him and asked if
 the cord was too long.

 Ted fell a third time. This time, when he bounced
 back, he was a complete mess with a couple of broken bones
 and was almost unconscious.

 Luckily, John finally caught his brother and said
 "What happened? Was the cord too long?"

 Ted said , "No, the cord was fine, but what in
 the world is a piñata?
