Ernie and Denny are bungee-jumping one day.

Ernie says to Denny, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee jumping service in the Dominican Republic." Denny thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they'll need; a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc. They travel to a town in the Dominican Republic and begin to set up in the middle of the town square. As they are constructing the tower a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly more and more people gather to watch them work. When they had finished they looked down and realized this is a huge crowd. They are imagining all the money they will make from this trip.

Denny says to Ernie, "Man this was a great idea. Look at that crowd. We're gonna be rich!" Ernie agrees and says, "What do you think we should do to get them excited and ready to come up here and jump?" "How about we give them a demonstration?" says Denny. Ernie agrees and after a short discussion they agree since it was Ernie's money making idea he should have the pleasure of introducing Bungee-Jumping to the crowd. He secures the rope to his safety belt, makes sure everything else is in place. He steps onto the platform, turns to Denny smiles and says, "Here's our first step towards retirement." As he leaps Denny yells, "Go for it man!"

Ernie bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up, Denny notices that he has few cuts and scratches. Denny reaches out to grab him, unfortunately, he isn't able to catch him, and Ernie falls again. He bounces up and comes back up again. This time he is bruised and bleeding. Again Denny reaches out to grab, but misses him. Ernie falls again and bounces back up. This time he comes back pretty messed up. He's got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious. Luckily Denny catches him this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too long?" Barely able to speak, Ernie gasps,

"No, the bungee cord was fine. It was the crowd.........

WHAT THE HELL IS A PI?ATA????
