ALIENS

In a small town in Texas, a mother was worried when her not-too-bright son failed to return from work. She told the police, who organised a search party that combed the surrounding area, but they couldn't find any trace of him. Two days later the young man turned up looking the worse for wear and talking about being abducted by aliens. He told interested reporters that he had been walking back home from work when he had met the aliens, who had taken him back to a brightly-coloured room with strange, loud music playing. He went on to describe how the aliens had forced him to eat food which burnt the back of his throat and to drink a foul-tasting liquid before he blacked out. He remembers nothing after that until he woke up in a field with a splitting headache and made his way home. One sceptical reporter, investigating the details that the man had given him, discovered a little bar full of Mexicans near the field where the man had woken up and he realised what had happened. The Mexicans had taken the man in and plied him with hot spicy food and tequila. The man had got drunk and passed out and, on relating the story, he used the US immigration term of "alien" to apply to the Mexicans.
