The Bacon Tree

[retired2]

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States, wandering aimlessly and starving.They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says: "Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell? Ees bacon, I theenk." "Is, Luis, eet sure smell like bacon."With renewed hope, they struggle up the next sand dune, & there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon. There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon, every imaginable kind of cured pork."Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Ees a bacon tree!""Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget.""Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon? Ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree!"With that, Luis staggers towards the tree.He gets to within 5 yards, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock.Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath:"Pepe, go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!""Luis, Luis mi ​ ​amigo, what ees it?" "Pepe ees not a bacon tree. Ees...Ees..Ees...Ees...Ees... Ees... a ham bush." SO SORRY I know there is something wrong with me for sending you this.Just couldn't help it!Little voices made me do it!And I bet you tried to do the accent didn't you?I know you did!You're grinning aren't you?
