Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was great.

It never rains in San Diego in September. Every time we came out of it and into a store, dribbling little streams of water, the natives told us that.
We finally got to the Mexican consulate for tourist cards, where the only person in sight--a middle-aged woman wearing dangling earrings and a week's
supply of makeup--was not pleased that her phone cal was l interrupted by having to fill out forms for eight bedraggled looking people.
We left the office and were walking down the hall, tourist permits in hand, when my husband took a good look at his. Although he had put archaeologist
as his profession, our lady of the dangling earrings had converted this to "agricultor." Which made sense, sort of, since he had put "field work" as
the purpose of his trip.
While he was arranging for a correction, I looked at my own permit. My last job before we left Florida to drive to Baja was making maps, so I had
entered my profession as cartographer.
The permit said I was a "caracaratulista." I had expected a word that looked like it was based on Greek, but oh well. It must have come from some
other language--Arabic, maybe.
When we got to La Paz and people asked me if I worked, I said, "Si, soy caracaratulista." Nobody asked me about maps, but I attributed this to the
fact that I knew so little Spanish that talking with me was too much like work.
Then one day, while browsing through my Velazquez dictionary, I came across the word "caracaratulista." Translation: mask-maker.
Caracaratulista has such a nice ring to it that I've always been sorry I had to give up this profession. But I don't have the slightest idea of how to
go about making masks.

No question about it, TW wins (so far). You just can't beat a good fart story.

I sure hope that Dern doesn't read that fishy-fart story as it would blow the cover off of my plan for our next trip.....
Very funny, and I can't even tell him about it, cause I want to try it myself!

From Harper's August 2006 Index:

Now that you're on to farts;
One of my first trips down in college, there were 4 guys and one girl packed into a '64 Chev heading down the road. We drive into the evening heading
for Ensenada and things finally get quiet.
With sudden fury, someone's supernatural fart gases reached our noses.
"Euww", I said, "who did that ? open a window". In turn, each of the guys responded in kind, leaving the redfaced young lady in the back seat very
silent.

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!
It was one of the best $20 I have ever spent! A remote controlled fart machine. I put sticky clay on the back of mine and then I stuck it under
chairs. I had my mom, stepdad and some other friends over for dinner one night, Jack, (my stepdad) is a typical Texan smartass who has played numerous
jokes on all in our family over the years.
Everybody was enjoying dinner, then at a pause in the conversation, I let one rip from Jack's chair. He thought it was my mom and my mom KNEW it was
him. Nobody else said anything. After a few minutes, I let loose another one, and mom let loose with her elbow in Jack's ribs! I was doing my best to
keep a straight face but was loosing that battle. Jack looked over at me and I gave him a dirty look, which actually covered for my facial
contortions. I waited till desert to let it loose again, and it was the loudest! Everybody is giving everybody dirty looks, but still nobody said
anything. I was amazed. It wasn't untill I was in the kitchen and I hit that button 3 times. John, one of our friends jumped back from the table and
said Jesus Jack! WHAT is your problem! Jack had no idea and HE thought it was somebody else. I thought my jig was up so I hit the button a couple more
times and this time EVERYBODY jumped up from the table. (I was peeing myself in the kitchen). Everybody was doing the "I thought you did it", "no I
thought John did it", No,No, it's JACK....or Jan...
I lost it at this point and was ROTFLMAO! Maybe I'll bring it on the baja cactus bus...

It was a nice warm day,cool breeze coming off the water
and I and the wife were taking a little noon day nap,under
Papa,s cabana life was good,I was nearly asleep when my wife tapped me on the shoulder and said" someone is coming
wake up.
I turned to see a group of horsemen heading straight
into camp,six on horseback and one in a jeep,all of them were armed to the teeth a very tough looking bunch to say the least,where can I hide the wife and kids? what should I do?
It was in the mid sixties and there was,nt much traffic in those days so this was very uncommon,they came right up to our camp,I,m sure
they could see how uneasy
I was,I couldn,t understand a word they saying so I just smiled.
About this time PaPa came out of his place and started talking to the guys,It seems they were looking for
some guy who had been stealing stuff,and had beaten some
guy nearly to death in Puertcitos,and then I heard one say in
perfect english "and we don,t need no stinking badges" it took me a min. to realilize what he had said then it was laughs all the way around and the
world was good again.
