Three Texans Visit Mexico
Three Texans
go down to Mexico one night, get drunk, and wake up in jail only to find out
that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember
what they did the night before. The first one is strapped in the electric chair
and is asked if he has any last words. He says, "I am from the Baylor
school of divinity and I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on
behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens, so they
figure God must not want this guy to die and they let him go.
The second one is strapped in and gives his last words, "I am from the
University of Texas School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to
intervene on the part of the innocent." They throw the switch and again
nothing happens. They figure that the law is on this guy's side, so they let him
go too.
The last one is strapped in and says, "Well, I'm a Texas Aggie Electrical
Engineer, and I'll tell you right now you ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you
don't connect them two wires."
