Mexican humore

[Arab Nights (imported)]

I encountered several good examples of Mexican humor during my last trip.

After flying to Chihuahua, the next leg was by morning bus up into the mountains. It turns out the bus station is in a bit of a red light district and there were a few women on the street. Latinos generally joke about men waking with morning wood as 'mananeros' or morning guys. Use that word with either men or women and they usually will smile. I learned at the bus station that women working in the morning are 'tempraneras' or early ones. Puts new meaning in the phrase 'the early bird gets the worm.'

So we next flew at sunrise by chartered 172 across a huge canyon and over a mountain to a dirt strip. As they were pulling out the aircraft, two army guys showed up to check luggage on a table. A middle aged guy put his duffel bag on the table. The soldier first pulled out a big jar of pills. He kind of shrugged and said, "When a guy passes 50 he needs lots of viagra." Never mind the tablets were big and white. That kind of thing does not happen so much at airports in gringolandia.

So when we were out working one day, the conversation kind of drifted from food to fast food to McDonalds to ideas of what to put in the box of happy meals for seniors. I will leave that to your imagination.

I wish Americans felt more free to enjoy good humor like this in public and not be so straight jacketed by political correctness and puritan hatred of all sex fun. Our soldiers would be punished for enjoying a little fun searching luggage if they had those duties. They d probably be told and ordered to confiscate all viagra if they did search our luggage. Can t let those American men enjoy any sex, now can we ! Keep it all for making babies only ! No recreational sex or porn allowed. Gotta keep those terrible puritan ideas going.
