Man walks into a bar in a small border town in Mexico and he overhears a conversation about a local desperado, Pedro the Bandit.
After a while he is drawn into the conversation when he is asked if he has ever heard of him.
"Heard of him!" he says, "Last week I was riding through the desert and I am stopped by a man with two guns and a big sombrero who says he is Pedro the Bandit and he demands all my money. I give him my money, what else can I do - he has two big guns - I have none?
When he has got my money, he says, "Now, drop your trousers".
He has two guns, I have none, so I drop my trousers.
Then he says, "sheet" - he don't have to ask me twice; I sheet.
"Now" he says, "eat it" - he has two guns, what can I do; I eat it.
But for a moment he turns his back - quick as a flash I grab his guns.
"Now Pedro the Bandit, drop YOUR trousers."
So what can he do - he drops his trousers.
"Now you sheet" - I don't have to tell him twice, he sheets.
"Now you eat it" - I have two guns, he has none; he eats it.
Have I heard of Pedro the Bandit? - didn't I have lunch with him only last week".
