A man and his wife are visiting Mexico and go to the local
restaurant for dinner. They can't seem to decide on what to
have
so they spend a lot of time looking over the menu.
While they are looking, they hear a trumpet fanfare, and out
of the kitchen comes the cook with a big platter. He is
accompanied by two or three waiters. With much ceremony, they
place the platter on the next table and uncover it to reveal two
rather large rounded pieces of meat surrounded by vegetables and
lots of garnish.
The man and wife ask their waiter what that was all about.
The waiter explains that the next table
was just served the
house specialty: the testicles of the bull from the day's
bullfight. The couple orders the same dish. The waiter
apologetically explains that there is only one bullfight per day
so they can't have that dish tonight. However, they could be
the persons of honor tomorrow night. This compromise makes the
couple happy.
They return the next day and await the feast. Suddenly there
is a trumpet fanfare, the big procession and all the hoop-de-do.
The team of waiters
sets the platter down and uncovers it only
to reveal two rather small morsels. The man asks the waiter,
"What gives? Yesterday's were so much larger?" To which the
waiter replies, "Well senor, you must understand, some days the
bull wins."
