Sven and Ole wanted to get away from the countryside and see the world. One day Sven said to his brother, "You know, we could do really well setting up our bungee-jumping service in Mexico". Ole thought this was a great idea, so the two pooled their money and bought all the equipment they needed. They traveled to Mexico and began to set up a tower near the center of the town for good publicity. As they began building the tower, a crowd assembled nearby. Slowly more and more people gathered to watch them work. They were so excited at having such a big audience that Ole decided to make the first jump and show their prospective clients all about bungee jumping. He bounced at the end of the cord. When he came back up, Sven noticed that he had a few cuts and scratches. As he flew by, Sven asked if the cord was too long. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to catch him. So Ole fell again, bounced and came back up. This time Ole was seriously bruised and bleeding. Again, Sven just missed catching him and asked if the cord was too long. Ole fell a third time. This time, when he bounced back, he was a complete mess with a couple of broken bones and was almost unconscious. Luckily, Sven finally caught his brother and said "What happened? Was the cord too long?" Ole said, "No, the cord was fine, but what the hell is a pinata?
