Typical ’Murrican pendejo tourist.

“Big rubber telephones”? Does such a thing even exist?

“I will not buy this record, it is scratched.”

“Do you wont … do you want to go back to my place bouncy bouncy?”

I’d criticize, but it would be beating a dead horse. Or burro. Or whatever.

Muy excelente.

“El Mercado”, ya filthy casual….

Mr and Mrs Pendejo

“… do you sell here big telephones of rubber?”

“… but you have eyes like a rat.”

On my first trip to Mexico, my experience talking to a stranger on the street went like this:

“Donde esta el mercado?” (Where is the market?)

“Quales mercado?” (Which market?)

I was stuck. In my Spanish courses, there had always been only the one market.

He finally said (In English) “Just what is it you are trying to say, man?”
