Joke - The Translating Lawyer
29 October 2007A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas Ranger decided to track him down.
After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six shooter to the bandit’s head and said, “You’re under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I’ll blow your brains out!” But the bandit didn’t speak English and the Ranger didn’t speak Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger’s message.
The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree behind the cantina. “What did he say?” the ranger asked.
The lawyer answered, “He said, ‘Get lost gringo, you wouldn’t dare shoot me.’”
