Salt in the Wound

Those who know me …as do you…have on more than frequent occasions listened to my laments over the necessity to speak Spanish to broaden the employment horizons….

Well today a guy walked into my plumbing department with a sealed cellophane package containing a propane gas line…

“ Can ya hook me up with an adapter or nipple that will fit the end of this gas line….and do ya speak Spanish?” was what he said as he handed me the package.

Both sides of the package I quickly noted were written completely in Spanish except for a warning label and so I asked…

“ Where the hell did you pick this up….been to Cancun or something ?”

“Nah “ he said “Just picked it in the indoor garden section right here in the store.”

And then I noticed….it was made right here in the USA. Well that may well be cause for some celebration….though in all likely hood…it was still made by mexicans
