Default Funny Story

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.

That's hilarious! I was expecting something more like I would draw (that is, something that an eight year old could draw), but that is very good.

Dude... you've got some art skills. Do you use those professionally? You could pwn most cartoonists I've seen.

AmericanFan, you should develope that idea, and turn it into comic strips or short stories. That has potential written all over it.
