"Bacon Tree"
Back in cowboy times, a westbound wagon train was
lost and low on food. No other humans had been seen
for days and then the pioneers saw an old Jewish rabbi
sitting beneath a tree.
"Is there some place ahead where we can get food?"
they asked.
"Vell, I tink so," the old man said, "but I wouldn't go up
dat hill und down de udder side. Somevun tole me you'd
run into a big Bacon Tree."
"A Bacon Tree?" asked the wagon train leader.
"Yah, an Bacon Tree. Vould I lie? Trust me. I vouldn't go
dere."
The leader goes back and tells his people what the rabbi
said.
"So why did he say not to go there?" a person asked.
Other pioneers said, "Oh, you know those Jewish people -
they don't eat bacon."
So the wagon train goes up the hill and down the other
side. Suddenly, Indians attack them from everywhere
and massacre all except the leader who manages to
escape and get back to the old rabbi.
Near dead, the man shouts, "You fool! You sent us to our
deaths! We followed your route but there was no bacon
tree, just hundreds of Indians who killed everyone but me."
The old Jewish man holds up his hand and says, "Oy,
vait a minute." He quickly picks up an English-Yiddish
dictionary and begins thumbing through it.
"Oy Gevalt, I made myself such ah big mishtake! It vuzn't
a Bacon Tree, it vuz a Ham Bush!!"
