Adventures in Bridge Excavations

Ojinaga, Mexico
Trouble Develops in Old Mexico

by Bob Mohel
Adventures in Bridge Excavations
The night I got locked up in Ojinaga it was over a souvenir picture of me and Maria, one of the ladies of the night. The old Mexican photographer said he wanted un peso, but when he came back, he wanted cinco pesos, so I told him where he could put the photo (hint: it wasn’t in an album). He said he was going to call the policia, and I told him while calling the policia, to call a bunch of them, and he did. So they locked me up, and it wasn’t at all nice. They took all my money and my watch. But even that wasn’t enough, so my boss had to come down and bail me out. That was another $600 and it was the first and the last picture I took in Mexico.
