... before I get started, I should begin by pointing out that(before I shaved my moustache) I do, in fact, look like Clark Gable... ... Unfortunately, after "Gone With the Wind", Clark Gable started looking like shit ;^( ... anyway, the only reason that I feel it was worth it to have learned to speak Spanish like a Tijuana resident(which I also happen to be) - is to see the look these people get on their faces when they figure out that you "really do" understand everything they are saying. I suppose it does save me a little bit of money when negotiating, too. However, I find it strange that it puts some of these girls ill at ease when they find out that I can cuss like a sailor in their language, and understand everything the desgraciado DJ is saying. They somehow instinctively know "what kind of Gringo" I really am - and what I really think of them... it always turns out to be those liposuctioned, breast-implanted, rhinoplastied bitches... they can't STAND knowing what I really think of them... they want a regular, stupid Gringo, who will fall for all their bullshit... but I think just like all the other Mexican dudes... because, after all, I too have become a Mexican... and think just like a Mexican... ... and THAT is the real reason why you should learn Spanish.
