Una muchacha mexicana que ha llegado a LA entra a un "bar" y un
gringo borracho le dice:
"Honey, baby, I wanna get in bed with you anmake love..."
La muchacha le contesta:
"Mande?"
Y el gringo responde:
"NO, not MONDAY, Tonight!!!

Recien llegado a LA, un "pibe" se encuentra todo sacado de onda pues
no sabe nada de ingles, deambulada por la ciudad y se encuentra con un experi-
mentado "mojado", y le dice (enfatizar los acentos para hacerlo mas comico):

mojado: Ora hijin, pues si el ingles es rete facil.... Mira :

mojado: Ay guey ! Y eso qu'es ?

pibe: Pero sho no me voy a acordar !
mojado: Uchale!!... 'ira, cuando llegue el mesero, le dices:
"'aste quien es?" rapido, y el t'entiende....
pibe: Bueno lo intentare.... Gracias, che!
Y el pibe muy seguro de si, se va a un restaurant.... En cuanto
llega el mesero le ve a los ojos y le dice:
"y vos quien sos?"

A proposed plan to gradually update the way to spell things in english.
In Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased
either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the
alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch"
formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling,
so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might
well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j"
anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with
Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so
modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15
or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y"
and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais

Anuncios, escritos en ingles, recogidos en lugares turisticos a lo
largo y ancho del mundo.
"Please leave your values at the front desk", en un hotel en Paris.
En un hotel japones: "You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid"
(Ya sabes, los japoneses son enormemente corteses ...). Un hotel de Zurich
advierte: "Because the improprierty of entertaining guest of the opposite
sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose"
(evidentemente surge una cuestion: Y si el invitado es del mismo sexo, podria
utilizarse the bedroom o tambien habria que bajar al lobby? Me parece una
discriminacion que los suizos deberian revisar, siempre dando por hecho el
"for this purpose")
En el capitulo de las comidas destaca un aviso acerca del estricto
control de calidad de todo lo que se sirve en un hotel de Acapulco: "The
manager has personally passed all the water served here". Las excelentes
condiciones para la infancia, en Noruega, no se extienden al parecer a todo
el territorio: "Ladies are requested not to have children at the bar".
Desde Moscu: "You are welcome to visit the cemetery, where famous
Russian and Soviet composers, artists and writers are buried daily except
Thursday". En el zoo de Budapest el ser humano esta muy por encima de
cualquier animal: "Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable
food, give it to the guard on duty". En un dentista en Hong Kong las muelas
son "extracted by the latest Methodists". Y en una compagnia aerea en
Copenhague: "will take your bags and send them in all directions".
El capitulo de las ropas hay verdaderas perlas: un peletero en
Suecia: "Furs coats made for ladies from their own skin". Un sastre en
Sudafrica "wants early orders for summer suits, because in big rush we will
execute customers in strict rotation" (bueno, si es estrictamente por
turno...). Pero, quien necesita ropa?. "Drop your trousers here for best
results", se sugiere en una tintoreria en Bangkok, y en Roma:"Ladies, leave
your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time". Y tambien en
Roma, un medico con muy variados talentos: "Specialist in women and other
diseases".

An old gentlemen from Mexico City visits the US for the first time.
His luggage is lost by the airlines and he has to go to the department store
to purchase clothes to wear while the airlines searches for his luggage. Not
speaking English, he is at a distinct disadvantage. Nonetheless, he manages
to find almost everything he needs. However, he cannot find socks; so, he
approaches a nice young man behind the display counter in the men's section
and asks: "Quiero unos calcetines". The clerk, who doesn't speak a word of
Spanish, attempts to discover what the old man wants by showing him item
after item from his display case. First, he holds up a pair of underpants.
"No, calcetines." Then, he holds up an undershirt. "No, calcetines." One
by one, the clerk shows him items of clothing from the case. Finally, he
holds up a pair of argyle socks. The old man exclaims:
- "Eso si que es!"
Flabbergasted, the young clerk replies:
- "Well, if you knew how to spell it, why didn't you?"
