Two Mexicans, On the Run

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

At the point of just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, one of them suddenly takes a deep sniff...

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I is sure of eet".

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

So, with renewed strength, they struggle on, up the next sand dune, and there in the distance, is a tree just 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 you can imagine!!

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Eees a bacon tree".

"Luis, are sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the desert, don' forget".

"Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell of bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree".

And with that...Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe following closely behind, when a sudden burst of machine gun cuts Luis down is his tracks. He is clearly mortally wounded but, true friend that he is, he manages to warn Pepe with his dying breath.

"Pepe...amigo go back! You was right, ees not a bacon tree"

"Luis, Luis mi amigo...what ees eet?"

"Pepe...ees not a bacon tree....

"Ees... Ees.. a Ham Bush!"

Sorry about that...
