I am shocked you thought the Polio was a Mini Golf!



I went to order brake parts for the Miata yesterday, and the young lady at the counter said, "what's a Miata?"

VW Golf is a C-Segment car, I suppose.

Wrong! The A6 is an E-Segment car, and I'll tell you why...

RadioShack's motto is/was "you've got questions, we've got answers".

I once walked into a RadioShack and was greeted by a young man that asked how he could help. I said I needed 1000uF electrolytic radial lead capacitors in the 25v range. He said he didn't think they had that, so I helped myself to the electronics drawer.

They have answers so long as the question is "do you have the new iPhone".

I know how to pronounce chicken in Spanish. I believe that was included in my junior high school Spanish class, if not high school Spanish, or my Bachelor's in Spanish.

Do any of you know what repollo is?

Not rechicken!

On a final note, I once met a guy from El Salvador that called himself "Polo," but he spelled it "Pollo."

I bet he enjoys explaining that every time!

People that want updates probably understand your proclivity to procrastination (at least that's what I assume about myself).

Somewhere else you mentioned financial independence, as if that's something that happens to you. Truth is, it's a decision 99% of the time, and something that happens 1% of the time.

Nunca he conocido una ensalada que me gustaba, pero otros vegetales están bien. Simplemente no me gusta comer hojas.

I buy a lottery ticket when the jackpot makes the news, hoping that it will happen to me. Until then, I'm happily dependent on my wife, who makes twice as much as I do.
