Huevos 1
A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming
around in Mexico. While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling,
scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only
did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, 'What
is that you just served?'
The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are
called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this
morning. A delicacy!'
The cowboy said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.'
The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving
per day because there is only one bull fight each morning.. If you
come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this
delicacy.'
The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that
evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After
a few bites, inspecting his platter, he cal led to the waiter and said,
'These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I
saw you serve yesterday.'
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Si,Senor. Sometimes
the bull he wins.
