Silly Gringos



  • Osito is not the same as lo siento
  • Bueno = good , Guano = mui, mui malo!
  • Oopsidaisio= a Guatemalan “uh Oh”
  • Not everyone had the chance to go fishing (which is a good thing) J
  • When you want fresh milk, look for the goats
  • Some flowers only live an hour and a half- at night
  • Fresh eggs come from the Juevo truck complete with speaker system
  • Grass too long?  Try a machete! (Or borrow a horse)
  • Stop signs are optional
  • Drive off at the Gas station and don’t worry about losing your license- you won’t be alive to need it again.
  • There is a place with worse potholes than Michigan
  • Turn Right at the big tree
  • Impassible road?  Nah- just fill the holes with rocks.
  • For hot water, dig a well  near a volcano
  • Washing dishes is a 4 cycle process
  • Never forget your sun sauce and bug sauce
  • Two lanes for traffic = space for 3 lanes of vehicles + 1 motorcycle lane
  • Motorcycle capacity = 1-5
  • Don’t make eye contact with men holding assault rifles
  • Keep Connie in sight at all times (and you thought we had to worry about Marilyn) J
  • And always, always choose wisely

Now let us rise for the Guatemalan National Anthem:

    12 fire crackers
    11 car alarms
    10 motor cycles
    9 diesel trucks
    8 public buses
    7 police car sirens
    6 dogs a barking
    5 mating cats
    4 roosters crowing
    3 Ice cream trucks    
    2 Gringos singing badly
    And a tuna truck -  
    yes, we said tuna truckJ
