There are a lot of Mexican people that I work with. This one guy, Carlos, told me how to say I'm finished in Spanish. A little while later I told this other guy who doesn't speak English so well that I was done with the build. This guy is married but likes guys, okay. He looked at me funny and then went back to work. This was about a week ago. Today I told my buddy Carlos that I had finished in Spanish and he's like what'd ya say? So I repeated myself. He then asked me what I was trying to say, so I explained myself. He told me that I was mispronouncing it and that what I was saying is, ummmm, best interpretation is 'can I jack you off?' I was so embarassed. Then I remembered telling the other guy that and I was doubly embarassed.
Doh!
I was able to laugh about it, but I wasn't happy that I had said that to the guy that's 'funny'
Oh well, hope you all get a laugh out of this one!
I really needed to hear something funny, and that made me laugh so hard.
In the future, if I was you, I would not ask for "how do you say this in English", would probably come out wrong, and wow did that one ever come out wrong, felt for you, must have made your face turn bright red.
Joke of the day, and glad to see you are in better spirits today, well sort of, haha.

PS. They have this little Spanish to English book, dictionarys, I would buy one, maybe.??
Yeah, there's a difference between acaban and acabar. heheheh. depends on how you say it, though. Sounds like your the one being 'jacked' with. hint- mak'em play your way. The game they've got you in is going to mean endless embarassment and frustration to you, and endless amusement for them. Eh, you'll learn. heheheh.
I could'nt help it. I had to log back on. Was having a good laugh at your expense, then thought, This is a fellow alcoholic. Dont fall for that 'ol one of us is a homo routine. Us white folks (assuming your white) tend to wear our insecurities on our sleaves, and once they get your number (everyone has a number), it's showtime. Of course, maybe I'd wait before this guy gets good and clear from the portapotty before going to take a leak.....
This whole thread is hilarious! Good. We all need a break from seriousness sometimes. Justin, It's good that you can share this and give us all a snicker as well as being able to laugh at yourself. That is a great attribute. Now...How are you going to get even???...Tim

Thanks for a super laugh! It reminded me of a time when I was trying to learn to say something in Welsh. I had an Uncle who was being very 'helpful' and teaching me a phrase or two. I was at a family gathering and tried to make a toast in Welsh. The whole room went deadly quiet after I had finished.
It was later explained to me that I had propositioned every guy in the room!
My Uncle didn't stop laughing at my naivety for weeks! I still have to work on forgiving him!!!
Have a great day,
Carol
