Chiste

A grade school teacher in New York asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence. Maria put up her hand and said, "My family went to my abuelito's farm, and we all saw his pet cabrito. It was fascinating." The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".

Enriqueta shyly raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see los pyramids and I was fascinated." The teacher said, "Well, that was good Enriqueta, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."

Pepito raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Pepito before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Pepito said, "My Tia Ninfa has a sweater with ten buttons, but her chichis are so big she can only fasten eight."

The teacher cried.

Mas! Por Favor! Mas. Obvious the equal of the dirty little johnny jokes that pepper the heartland; Send more now! That was good. Well, at least it was pretty good, considering it is quite early here in the morning.

Of course, you will need to translate it into perfect spanish for those on this board who only understand such things. God, I have read some comments on this board this first week, and you would swear there was some such thing as perfect spanish. Some people really get full of themselves, don't they?

Where do we go from here?

Al paredon is when they send you to the firing squad.

yeah, just think the opening sentence in 100 años de soledad when coronel Aureliano Buendía was facing the firing squad and suddenly he remembered the day his father took him to discover the ice.

Cheers,
