BALLS-UP

A MAN was on holiday in Spain. He stopped by a restaurant and saw an interesting dish being served. He asked the waiter what it was. The waiter replied: “Son los cojones del toro – the balls of the bull, sir. We serve it once a day after the bullfights.” Intrigued, the man placed an order for the next day and left.

The next day the man returned, received his dish as ordered and ate the balls. When he was finished, the waiter came up to him and asked: “How did you like the dish, sir?”

“Not bad,” the man said, “but they didn’t seem as tender as the big ones you were serving yesterday.”

The waiter nodded and said: “Well sir, sometimes the bull wins.”
