A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally,
a reward was offered for his capture and an enterprising Texas Ranger decided to track him down,
After a lengthy search, the ranger traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty
six-shooter to the bandit's head and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your
brains out."
But the bandit didn't speak English and the ranger didn't speak Spanish. Furtunately, a bilingual lawyer was sitting at the next table and translated the ranger's message.
The terrified bandit blurted out in Spanish that the money was buried under the Large Oak tree in back of the cantina.
"What did he say?" asked the ranger.
The lawyer answered, "He said ' Get lost, you turkey. You wouldn't dare shoot me."
