I Made the Guy at the Toll Booth Laugh


Yesterday, I pulled up to the gate and said, "Lo siento, tengo solo poquito cambio!"

He replied, "No, problema, senora."

Then I handed him a literal handful of coins - ten centavos, mostly.

He laughed and counted them and said that I owed eight pesos more.

I scrounged around in my purse and found the rest of the toll money.

Funny, how they don't like people giving them change but they usually give me all dollar bills in change if I give them a $20 bill.
