One to avoid ! !


Please forgive me if you've already read this, or it has been posted before, or if this is the wrong topic / forum area... I'm not quite sure...

But I wanted to alert you so that you could avoid this company!! :P

Subject: FW: Bungee Jumping in Mexico

Alice and Frank are Bungee-jumping one day. Alice
says to Frank, "You know, we could make a lot of money
running our own Bungee-jumping business in Mexico."
Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their
money and buy everything they need: a tower, an
elastic cord, insurance, etc.

They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on the
square. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd
begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people
gather to watch them at work. When they had finished,
there was such a crowd, they thought it would be a
good idea to give a demonstration.

So, Alice jumps. She bounces at the end of the cord,
but when she comes back up, Frank notices that she has
a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Frank isn't
able to catch her and she falls again, bounces, and
comes up again. This time, she is bruised and
bleeding. Again, Frank misses her, Alice falls again
and bounces back up. This time, she comes back pretty
messed up -- she's got a couple of broken bones 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 Bungee
cord was fine... It was the crowd. What the hell is a
pinata?!"




Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music

I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
