A Bacon Tree

Way back in the cowboy days, a wagon train was travelling West and hadn't seen anyone in days. One day, they came across an old Jewish man sitting under a tree, all by himself.
The leader of the wagon went over to the Jew and said "Hey, what are you doing way out here?"
The Jew replied, and told the leader "Ven I came to this country they give me a job, sit under this tree and warn people, dont go over the hill! Over the hill is a bacon tree."
"A bacon tree?" asked the wagon train leader.
"Yah, ah bacon tree. Trust me."
The leader went back and tells his people that it's just some crazy Jew saying something about bacon.

So the wagon train goes up the hill and down the other side. Suddenly, Indians attack and massacre everyone except the leader, who manages to escape back to the old Jew.
The near-dead man starts shouting. "You old fool! You sent us to our deaths, why didn't you warn us!! We went over the hill but there was no bacon tree. Just hundreds of Indians, who killed everyone."
The old Jew holds up his hand and says "Oy, I made a mistake, it vuz not a bacon tree. It vuz a ham bush!"
