The story is told of the Mexican bandit who robbed a Texas
bank of $250,000 and escaped across the river.

A month went by and the bandit thought he was safe. He was

celebrating his good fortune at a local cantina when a Texas

Ranger walked up and dragged him out into the dusty street.

After he realized he had a communication problem, the Ranger

poked his head back into the bar and shouted, "Anybody here

speak English?"
"I do, senor," came the reply.
"Then commence," the Ranger ordered.
The conversation between Ranger, translator, and bandit
started:
Did he rob the bank??
He did.
Does he still have the $250,000?
Yes, again.
Then the ranger pulled out his Colt .45, held the barrel of
the gun to the bandit's head and cocked the trigger.
"Make sure he understands this next question real good." the
Ranger told the translator. "WHERE'S THE MONEY?"
In Spanish the frightened bandit blurted out that the money
was hidden in a waterproof bag at the bottom of the well in

the town plaza.

The translator looked up at the Ranger and said, "He says,

'shoot me you bastard! I'm not afraid to die!"
