Bacon Tree

Two guys have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they're at death's
door. They suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a small tree in the
distance. As they get closer, they can see that the tree is draped with
strips upon strips of bacon. There's smoked bacon, crispy bacon,
nearly-raw bacon, all sorts. "Look Paul," says the first man. "It's a
bacon tree!" "You're right!" says Paul. "We're saved!" Paul doesn't
wait another second. He runs up to the tree, salivating at the prospect
of food. But just as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there's
the sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of
bullets. His friend quickly drops to the sand and calls across to the
dying Paul, "What happened?" With his dying breath, Paul calls back:
"Run! It's not a Bacon Tree after all. It's a ham bush!"

No, I don't know why I posted this either...
