One day while they're bungee jumping, Oley says to Sven, "You know, we
could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in
Mexico." Sven thinks it's a great idea, and so they pool their money and
buy everything they'll need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.
They travel to Mexico and begin to set up their equipment on the town
square.
As they constructed the tower, a crowd began to assemble. Slowly, more
and more people gathered to watch them at work. When the tower was
finished, the crowd was so large that Oley and Sven thought it would be
smart to give a demonstration.
They climbed the tower together. Oley strapped Sven into the harness, and
Sven jumped. Sven bounced at the end of the cord, but when he came back
up, Oley noticed he had a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Oley
couldn't grab him before he fell again.
When he bounced up a second time, Sven was bruised and bleeding. Again,
Oley failed to catch him. Sven went down again and bounced back up. By
the time Oley caught him, Sven was nearly unconscious, with a couple of
broken bones. Alarmed, Oley asked, "What happened? Was the cord too
long?"
Barely able to speak, Sven gasped, "No, the bungee cord was fine. It was
the crowd. What the hell is a piñata?"
