Do you mean desert, or did someone actually die in a dessert?

???

I have heard the one of someone is dead in the middle of a desert , and naked ,save for a small package.

is this similar ?

[Guest]

no it is not - sorry

[Guest]

Lets assume dead actually means broke and the desert is actually refering to Las Vegas. He might be trying to get 53 bicycle brand cards so he would have that one extra to cheat with.

Wonder what the dude is doing sitting in the middle of a Pie..

des·ert : a region so arid because of little rainfall that it supports only sparse and widely spaced vegetation or no vegetation at all

des·sert : cake, pie, fruit, pudding, ice cream, etc., served as the final course of a meal

EDIT: oops! didn't notice that TEX already pointed this out. <!-- s:oops: --><!-- s:oops: -->

yup - you got it.

I actually spelled dessert wrong (it is supposed to be desert) but the answer remains the same no matter how you spell it.
