A wagon train left the east,heading to California. Half way there they started running out of food. As they started across the plains they saw an old Jewish man sitting out side his front door. The wagon master stopped and went over to the old man and asked if he knew where they could buy food,because they were getting real low on supplies. The jewish man thought for awhile and said,”I don’t know,but there is a bacon tree over the next hill.” “A bacon tree?”the wagon master said.”Yes, a bacon tree, “the old jewish man said. The wagon master thanked him and went back to the wagon train and explained to everyone that there was a bacon tree over the next hill. So off they went.After getting over the hill a bunch of indians attacked and killed everyone but the wagon master. He managed to crawl back to the old jewish man’s cabin.When he got to the old man he said, “You told me there ws a bacon tree over the next hill,and when we got there a bunch of indians ambushed us and killed everyone except me.” The old man looked a little puzzled and reached inside his coat and pulled out a book that said,Jewish Dictionary on how to speak proper English. After thumbing thru a few pages he exclaimed, “Oiy Vey,weren’t no bacon tree,it were an ham bush.”
