Well one thing, anyway.
He's obviously spending way too much time watching crap TV.

Time doesn’t seem to make it any less relevant however.

the working man trying to find balance, than it is about an ugly American trying to tell a Mexican how to do their job.
At the end of the day it's another negative stereotype about Mexican workers, and would be a death knell to any young Hispanic, walking into a job
interview with an American manager, who believes Hispanic workers, are like this lazy fisherman, who lives day to day, and only works enough to feed
his family.
The fact is poor Mexican workers, don't have time to think about finding the perfect life balance, and instead if they were fisherman, or construction
workers, would work sun up to sundown to feed their family instead of taking an afternoon siesta.
Somewhere along the line, somebody changed this story from a German story, to a lazy Mexican fisherman story, so they could play on the stereotype
about Mexican workers.
I suggest if you want to read parables, that make you think. You should read Far East Japanese or Asian, zen parables that will teach you life
lessons, without the negative stereotypes.

Some here don't have the yrs. on BN, perhaps haven't
heard every story, going back to '95 or so, nothing
odd about reposting of a good story. Merry Christmas
to you DK
