Spanish accent?
An Italian, a Frenchman and a Mexican went for a job interview in England. Before the interview, they were told that they must compose a sentence in
English with three main words: Green, pink, and yellow.
The Italian was first: "I wake up in the morning. I see the yellow sun. I see the green grass and I think to myself, I hope it will be a pink day."
The Frenchman was next: "I wake up in the morning, I eat a yellow banana, a green pepper and in the evening I watch the pink panther on TV."
Last one was the Mexican: "I wake up in the morning, I hear the phone: "Green...green...", I "pink" up the phone and I say Yellow?

As a kid, we had a Mexican farm hand who, since farm work was slow, was asked to help my mother paint the kitchen. When the paint arrived, he was
directed to paint three walls white, and the fourth yellow. He painted three walls and left the other unpainted. When told a second time she wanted
the other wall painted yellow, he became agitated and confused acting. Given the can of yellow paint and directed to paint the wall with it, he sighed
with relief and explained, "I thought she wanted me to use ICE".

misunderstanding!
A couple of guys from New York were sitting at the pool bar at a resort in Cabo. Sid said to his friend, "I wonder if there are any Jews in Mexico?"
Mort responds, "I don't know, I haven't seen any synagogues around here, let's ask the waiter." Mort flags down the waiter and says, "Amigo do you
have Jews in Mexico?" Jose said, "I theenk so, I will ask the cook." Jose comes back in a minute and says, "Yes, we have fresh yuz today. We have
orange yuz, mango yuz, and pineapple yuz. What yuz you want?!"

haha...it's pretty common to mistake words in spanish as lots of them are similar...once my mom was in a grocery store and asked the sales person for
"jamon para lavar la ropa" the guy was like...uuuh crazy lady at 12 O'clock hahahaha...
Live life as well as you can,
don\'t regret the things that once made you smile,
learn from your mistakes,
and thank God for every second he gives you upon this earth.

One of my favorite personalities on late nite TV is "Guillermo" the Security Guard on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on ABC. He
really cracks me up!! When Jimmy asks him a question or talks to him, he'll answer "Jes Yimmy" or something else in his Mexican accent.
He's become quite a well known personality. They send him out as a reporter to the red carpet at many of the awards shows like the Grammy's, and he's
gotten kissed by many big starlets. He gets to perform in many skits and he also gets to do a segment on Hollywood Star gossip. He does that from the
back of the Pontiac SUV they gave him and which they tricked out for him on Pimp My Ride.
If you're up at Midnight, check him out.
