He didn’t have a cape that I saw, unlike the luckier others.

Alphonso's bull-repelling whistle proved to be as ineffective as his idea of getting front row seats was a bad one.

If you bait a bull, what do you expect?

A much larger animal, whichever kind eats bulls.

Yesterday in Sincelejo, Colombia, an American tourist was in a restaurant, and saw a plate with huge meatballs with rice and sauce delivered to the table next to him. He asked his waiter what that dish was called, and was told “Cajones”. He thought they looked delicious.

Today, the same tourist goes to the same restaurant and eagerly ordered the Cajones.

The plate comes with two tiny meatballs, lost in the sauce and rice.

He complains that yesterday the other table got a huge dish, and his was meager.

The waiter whispered “Si, Senor, but the bull no always lose!”

When I see this I think of the group Association's song "Requiem of the Masses"

It's a haunting song about a bull fighter turning his back to the bull to please the crowd and is gored to death.

Wouldn’t this be an expected outcome if you’re playing with a bull?

I used to watch the bullfights in Muzo in Boyaca Colombia

Till Gonzalo Gacha threw Victor Caranzas little brother from his own Magnum P.I. chopper over the ring on a Sunday afternoon from 1000 feet in front of 1000s

He was already tortured to death

Gacha was moving into Cundinamarca state around the capital Bogota and Victors emerald concessions nearby

Victor being a founder of the AUC rightist paras and buddies with the Castaño brothers and yours truly as well and was having none of that

But it put a damper on the festivities

Victor and Doctor Juan Beetar gave me my first break in emeralds in 1982

They were solid just don't cross them

remarkable men....truly tough as nails but honest....Juan Beetar left and Victor on right. Victor survived countless assasination attempts on his life (25)

Beetar was Jewish and the sophisticate to Victors pure grit to go from nothing to largest emerald magnate in the wold and billionaire Colombian warlord in a tough neighborhood
