Al and John were bungee jumping one day when Al says to John, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee jumping service in Mexico. John thought this was a great idea, so they pooled their money and bought everything they needed: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.
They traveled to Mexico and began to set up on the square. As they were constructing the tower, a crowd began to assemble. Slowly more and more people gathered to watch them at work. When they finished, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration. So, Al jumped.
He bounced at the end of the cord, but when he came back up, John noticed that he had a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, John wasn't able to catch him and he fell again, bounced and came back up again. This time, Al is bruised and bleeding ... again John missed him.
Al fell again and bounced back up - This time he was pretty messed up .. he had a couple of broken bones and was almost unconscious. Luckily, John finally caught him and said, "What happened? Was the cord too long?"
Barely able to speak, Al gasped, "No, the bungee cord was fine. It was the crowd! By the way, what the hell is a piñata?"

"No, the bungee cord was fine. It was the crowd! By the way, what the hell is a piñata?" Sounds like Bush vs. the media lately.
