The BaconTree Two fellows are stuck in the Sonora
Post# of 3036
Two fellows are stuck in the Sonora 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? It's bacon I am sure of it."
"Si, Luis. It smells like bacon to me."
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. It's a bacon tree."
"Luis, are you sure it's not a mirage? We it's in the desert don't forget."
"Jose when deed you ever hear of a mirage that smell like bacon... it's no mirage, it's a bacon tree."
And with that, Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 yards , 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; it's not a bacon tree."
"Luis Luis mi amigo... what is it?"
"Jose, it's not a bacon tree...it's, it's, it's, it's a ham bush."
