Wha'choo talking 'bout? McD fries are God's gift to mankind. The golden standard of fries. They are not quite as good as they were when they were fried in animal fat, but still better than anyone else's (except Whataburger).

Too skinny.

I like a little meat on my fries.

Donald eats BK.

Good enough for me!

When I'm on the road shopping, I have a quick lunch of a BK Whopper Jr. and a small chocolate shake with whipped cream.

A delicious, inexpensive little meal...I LIKE BK's hamburgers!

McDonald’s fries are so thin that they dry out before you can eat them unless they are boiling hot.

Now, a new name for Burger King to suit the lefties could be “Booger King”. Easier to say than “burger”.

Besides, who cares? Our society is being so downgraded and bastardized pretty soon “Babies R Us” will be known as “Yo Mama’s Place”.

Father’s Day will be known as “Pick One Day”. And “Mother’s Day will be known as “Yo Mama’s Day”.

When Chevy first introduced its NOVA to Venezuela and the rest of South America they made a major marketing error and then changed the name. NOVA translates into Spanish as “ No GO”

Mi Mama, God rest her soul, Did not want us to say the word, “cheating” because to her Spanish ears it was the same as going #2.

That is something you can only appreciate if one of your family members first language is Spanish .Even if they are fluent in English like my grandmother was there are some words they just can’t say .

I took a couple of years of High School Spanish . If I have to talk to someone in Spanish for anything they always start laughing . I can not roll an r . My Spanish is terrible really even though I lived in Miami for a few years.

Most foreigners do appreciate when someone tries to speak to them in their own language even if it is haltingly and comedic. In my travels, only the French seem to resent anything short of perfect French.

Vaya con Dios.

Depends which dialect you speak. I can see that would fill the side of the building.

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: Could you tell me where I might find a decent inn?

Don Diego: An inn?! With all jure talk about the pipple, I see jue like decent inns! And jue wear expensive clothes, not the rags. And jue smell of the sultry perfumes, not the… ship oil.

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: Ship oil? [Pause.] You mean the oil from boats?

Don Diego: No, ship oil, from the ships in the field.

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: [slowly] What ships… in the field?

Don Diego: Jue have never heard of the ships in the field? The little ... baa-baa-baas?

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: Oh, you mean "sheep"!

Don Diego: Jes, that is what I said.

Charlotte Taylor Wilson: No, you said "ship"! Forgive me, but you have a very pronounced accent.

Don Diego: Jue're trying to change the subject from the fact that jue are actually very wealthy.
