Hey Juan
During the Mexican American War, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances.
Finally, an American general had a bright idea. He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled:
- Hey, Juan!
A soldier jumped up and replied:
- What?
The general shot him dead.
This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out:
- Hey, John!
An American replied:
- John isn't here. Is that you Juan?
The Mexican general stood up:
- Yeah . . .
