Funny Story

[AmericanFan]

With all this talk about Mexico and Mexicans it reminded me of a trip to the grocery store last winter.
As my wife and I were walking through the store I saw a small display of disposable ponchos for only $1. I thought they would be great to carry in the car since I got soaked just a few days earlier.
Anyway the sign (and packages) said "Emergency Poncho". I asked my wife if she wanted one. So... she asks... "What is an emergency poncho?"
Of course I couldn't give a straight answer to such a stupid question so I said "Emergency Poncho is a Mexican superhero. Whenever there is trouble, Emergency Poncho saves the day!"
Of course she doesn't have a sense of humor but that didn't stop me from telling her all of the heroic adventures of E.P. and his trusty donkey Gomez. I even drew her a picture of them and she didn't like that either. Oh well, at least I thought it was funny.
