	On one hot dusty day in 1860 , a lone Mexican bandit crossed
the border into Texas . After robbing a small bank and shooting up
the town , he led the posse on a merry chase thru the desert. On the 
second day of the chase he was apprehended :

sheriff-to-bandit (in english)  "WHERE IS THE MONEY ?"

bandit-to-sheriff (in spanish) " I SPEAK NO ENGLISH !"

 	So the sheriff gets an interpreter from the posse , the only
man among them who speaks Spanish:

sheriff-to-interpreter : "ASK HIM WHERE THE MONEY IS. "

interpreter-to-bandit :" HE WANTS TO KNOW ,WHERE IS THE MONEY ?"

bandit-to-interpreter :" I'LL NEVER TELL !"

interpreter-to-sheriff : "HE SAYS HE'LL NEVER TELL ,SENOR"

       At this point , the sheriff looses his cool . His town has been 
shot up ,his bank robbed , two days in the desert tracking this guy ,
and now he says he'll never tell. So he takes his pistol ,jams it
under the bandits chin , and with the veins standing out on his neck,
screams "TELL HIM TO TELL ME WHERE THE MONEY IS , OR I'LL BLOW OUT HIS
BRAINS RIGHT NOW !"

interpreter-to-bandit : "TELL WHERE THE MONEY IS , OR THE SHERIFF WEEL
                         KEEL YOU RIGHT HERE"

bandit-to-interpreter : " OK ,THE MONEY IS UNDER THE BIG TREE AT THE PASS!"

interpreter-to-sheriff : "HE SAYS YOU AINT GOT THE BALLS ...."
