Vacationing in Mexico

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 night 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.

After there dinner 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."
