I know this is pathetic but made me laugh anyway (what does that say about me I wonder ??)

The Bacon Tree

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."

"Si, 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 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, miamigo, what ees it?"

"Pepe ees not a bacon tree.  Eees...

Eees...

Eees...

Eees...
