BIKERNET’S SOUTH OF THE BORDER CULTURAL LESSON OF THE DAY–Alice and Frank are Bungee-jumping one day. Alice saysto Frank,”You know, we could make a lot of money running ourown Bungee-jumpingservice in Mexico.”
Frank thinks this is a great idea. So they pool theirmoney and buyeverything they’ll need: a tower, an elastic cord,insurance, etc.
They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on a squarein a small town.
As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins toassemble. Slowly,more and more people gather to watch them at work.
When they had finished, there was such a crowd theythought it would bea good idea to give a demonstration.
So, Alice jumps. She bounces at the end of the cord,but when she comesback up, Frank notices that she has a few cuts andscratches.
Unfortunately, Frank isn’t able to catch her and shefalls again,bounces and comes back up again. This time, she isbruised and bleeding.
Again, Frank misses her. Alice falls again and bouncesback up. Thistime she comes back pretty messed up — she’s got acouple of brokenbones and is almost unconscious.
Luckily, Frank finally catches her this time and says,”What happened?Was the cord too long?”
Barely able to speak, Alice gasps, “No, the Bungeecord was fine…Itwas the crowd. What the hell is a pinata?

BIKERNET NEW ORLEANS PROGRESS REPORT–This happened on a flight getting ready to depart for New Orleans.
Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him.The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. ,”What’s the matter?” Jack asked.
“I’ve been transferred to New Orleans, there’s crazy people there.They’ve got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate.”
Jack replied, “I’ve lived in New Orleans all my life. It’s not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a nice private school.It’s as safe a place as anywhere in the world.”
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, “Oh, thank you. I’ve been worried to death. But if you live there and say it’s OK, I’ll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?”
“Me?” said Jack. “I’m a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck.”

DID BUTTS PLAY A ROLL IN TOILET PAPER THEFT? WOMAN CHARGED IN IOWA COURTHOUSE TISSUE HEIST–MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa – Police blame a woman named Butts for stealing toilet paper from a central Iowa courthouse, and while they’re chuckling, the theft charge could put her in prison.
“She’s facing potentially three years of incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper,” Chief Lon Walker said, stifling a laugh as he talked to KCCI-TV about Suzanne Marie Butts.
“See, I can’t say it with a straight face.”Workers had noticed the rolls disappearing from the Marshall County Courthouse much faster than usual, Walker said.
Butts, 38, was caught last week after an employee saw her taking three rolls of two-ply tissue from a storage closet, Walker said.
Butts insisted it was the first time she’d pilfered toilet paper, but she declined to answer further questions on her attorney’s advice.
The fifth-degree theft charge, a misdemeanor, normally carries a sentence of less than a year in jail. But Butts could face more time if convicted under the state’s habitual offender law because she has prior theft convictions.Walker did not know why Butts was at the courthouse, but said that she did not work there.
