The Bacon Tree

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly
and close to death.

They are close to just lying down and waiting for the
inevitable, when all of a sudden...

'Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell?
Ees bacon I ahm sure of eet.'

'Si, Luis eet smells like bacon to meee'.

So, with renewed strength, they struggle up the next
sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree
loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture...

There's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon...

Every imaginable kind of cured pig meat.

'Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved!
Eet EES a bacon tree!'

'Luis, are you sure ees not a meerage? We ees in
the Desert don't forget.'

'Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that
smeell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon
tree'.

And with that...Luis races toward the tree.

He gets to within 5 meters, with Pepe following
closely behind, when all of a sudden a machine
gun opens up and Luis is cut down in his tracks.

It is clear he is mortally wounded but, true
friend that he is, he manages to warn 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...

... Eees a Ham Bush!"
