My story takes place back in the old wild west in a little village on the north side of the Mexican border. This village had a bank, and of course, one day this bank got robbed. So they called in a ranger, and before you could blink, the ranger had brought in a suspect. Unfortunately the suspect didn't speak a speck of english, and the ranger didn't speak any spanish. So the ranger found a wise old man in the village who spoke both, and got him to translate. The following is a transcript of their conversation, with the spanish parts enclosed in brackets so you can tell. "Ask him what his name is" "He says his name is Jose" "Did he rob the bank?" "He says that he did" "Where did he hide the money?" "He says that he will not tell you" At this point the ranger pulls out the biggest gun you have ever seen and puts the barrel between the suspect's eyes and says: "Tell him I will blow his brains out if he doesn't tell me" The poor suspect looks down the barrel of the gun and says: "Mister ranger, he says he is not afraid to die". ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
