A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time, robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, DEAD or ALIVE!



A trigger happy, young, enterprising Texas Ranger decided to track down the bandit on his own and collect the reward. After a lengthy search, the Ranger tracked the bandit to his favorite cantina and snuck up behind him. At the sound of the Rangers guns cocking and preparing to fire, the surprised bandit sped around only to see both of the Rangers six-shooters bearing down on him.



The Ranger announced, Youre under arrest! Tell me where you hid the loot or Ill drop you where you stand, his finger becoming itchy on the trigger.



However, the bandit didnt speak English and the Ranger didnt speak Spanish. Fortunately for the Ranger, a bilingual lawyer was present in the cantina and translated the Rangers demand to the bandit. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried next to an old oak tree behind the cantina.



What did he say, what did he say?, the Ranger hurriedly asked.



To which the lawyer replied, Well, the best I can make out he said … DRAW!
