A Texas ranger was chasing a Mexican bandito around the turn of the last century. The bandito had robbed a bank in Texas and was hiding in a bar in a border town when the ranger found him. The ranger only spoke English and the bandito only Spanish so he found a local translator. The conversation went like this : Ranger : Ask him where he hid the money. Translator (in Spanish) : He wants to know where you hid the money. Bandito : Tell him to go [expletive deleted] himself. Translator (in English) : He said he's not going to tell you. The ranger stands, draws his revolver, points it squarely at the bandito's head, and says "ask him again." Translator (in Spanish) : He still wants to know where you hid the money... Bandito : Okay! Okay! I hid it in the dried up town well, just tell him not to kill me! Translator (in English) : He said that he is prepared to die. Moral of the story, everyone has an agenda.
