Three wise men

Do colombian kids send wish letters to the three wise men?

or better said

Do three wise men visit colombian kids to give them gifts "magically"?

chorizo I think Jesus could have been born in Colombia since the Magi were not locals.

=)

I'd like to know whether in Colombia you have the same ring-shaped cake Rosca de Reyes, that contains figurines of the Baby Jesus. Cause whoever gets a figurine is supposed to buy tamales for the Candelaria feast on February the second.

I was wondering if that is a tradition in Colombia because I'd like to send some presents for this matter.

oh I got it! and yes mexicans are ironic... and actually I was going to say "well, if colombians do not have that tradition, how come they make up a joke like that"

But if coming from Mexico, now I understand... cause in Mexico such jokes are said very often in January...

yeah I think some people are pretty unfair making deductions like "ALL colombians are this or that"

Sorry, I am not a man but I don't understand why people go to latinamerica with their bucks in their hand trying to buy a wife and then say that they are interesadas...

Chorizo, I am glad you got good sense of humor, I too thought it was a little offensive, but you are right, we "Colombians" like to make jokes out everything, I bet the joke was taken from "Sábados Felices" the best humor progran in Colombia. MitchAlvarez thanks for jumping in defense of Colombia.

Pronto, nice to see the pic from Zipaquira.

depront vea pues le cuento un chiste mas o menos chistoso. si tenes uno mejor tiramelo pues.



Una mujer preocupada acude al médico, porque cuando se desnuda se le ponen los pezones rígidos.

__Vamos a ver, desnúdese, le solicita el doctor.

La mujer se desnuda y, al quitarse el sujetador, se le ponen los pechos duros y erectos apuntando hacia arriba.

__¡No puede ser! -- Hágalo otra vez, le ordena el médico.

La mujer repite la operación con idéntico resultado y, viendo la cara de asombro del facultativo, pregunta: __¿Es grave, doctor?...

El médico mostrándole el pene totalmente erecto le responde:

__¡Grave no sé, pero contagioso si
