Your illustrations remind me of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” where the American fiance was tricked into saying something dirty in Greek. An old trick. Funny – unless, of course, you’re the one making the blunder. Good one, Carl. 😉
Que cosa! It wasn’t nice to fool you that way! I had four years of Spanish classes in high school. I could read books in Spanish back then, but even then, I could not understand it when I heard it spoken. Blessings to you, Carl…
Well I am not any good with that photoshop stuff just have to paste pieces of paper cut outs together to make pictures but these are the deck shoes I pretty much live in.
…. join the club, Carl … have 2 patients right now, that speak spanish only … it’s kind of funny … them, trying to talk english with heavy spanish accent, and me trying to understand, having a heavy danish accent myself … uhm, why did my first comment disappear ?
I just checked in. I don’t know about first comment. Weird stuff going on with wordpress. I cannot leave likes on 40% blogs I follow and others I can leave comment with facebook not wordpress. Regards.
Looks like you’re a rarity among men, Carl–an accomplished contortionist who can sit on his face and walk on the sides of his feet. A new career choice?
