Subject:          The Bilingual Lawyer-JOKE


Dear Loop Members on bcc:



Amused by the protests of both sides as to the adequacy of the bilingual
programs... my own opinions of both another time...  I am posting the
following joke.  JOKE..
No insult toward Mexicans, or Texas Rangers intended, no comment about the
lawyers.




A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time
to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for
his capture, and an enterprising Texas Ranger decided to track him down.


After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina,
snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit's head,
and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll
blow your brains out."


But the bandit didn't speak English, and the Ranger didn't speak
Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and
translated the Ranger's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in
Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the
cantina.


"What did he say?" asked the Ranger.


The lawyer answered, "He said 'get lost, you turkey. You wouldn't dare
shoot me.'"
