got this from Don - who lives as far from El Paso as he can get...
Moving to El Paso?
This happened on a flight getting ready to depart for El Paso. Jim was
sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was
an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. "What's the
matter?" Jim asked.
"I've been transferred to El Paso. There are crazy people there.
They've got lots of shootings, gangs, drugs, poor public schools, and
one of the highest crime rates in the nation. And it's even worse
across the border in Juarez."
Jim replied, "I've lived in El Paso all my life. It's not as bad as the
media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, and
enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as
anywhere in the world."
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been
worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your
word for it. What do you do for a living?"
"I'm tail gunner on a Budweiser truck." _________________ Jim
