Bungee Jumping
Two Americans, Bob and Jeff, decide to open a bungee-jumping business in Mexico. They set up on the square of a small village.
Bob jumps, bounces at the end of the cord, and flies back up by the platform. Jeff isn't able to catch his friend, but he notices he has a few cuts and scratches.
Bob falls again, bounces, and comes back up. This time, he is bruised and bleeding. Again, Jeff misses him.
A Better Life
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the tourist.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
