Two illegal immigrants try to cross the border in the Sonoran desert. After
wandering in the broiling sun for most of two days, they're on their last
legs.

Cresting a small sand dune, they see a small Bacon Tree. The tree is
festooned with fried bacon, smoked bacon, bacon chips, boiled bacon, bacon
of every kind.

One runs toward the feast. As he nears the tree, he is shot by a sniper
hiding in the foilage.

With his dying breath he calls to his comrade. "Run, Pedro, run! 'Es not a
Bacon Tree, 'es a ham bush!"

I had no problem understanding that!

It seems I may have been incorrect stating EMS. It is
'Su Oficina de Emergencia' in the text; but an imprint in the
upper right states 'Emergency Management'. By the time
I finish translating what I can, I will probably experience
'de fuerza de huracan.' But they also tell me 'la posible
cancelacion de esta orden' which I think may be a good
thing.

My government at work!
