Great Promotional Concept!!

I once worked with a native spanish speaker guy who spoke very choppy english.

One fine afternoon I offered to do a food run to the local deli

He asked If I would retreive 2 Eggs.....from the market

I did.

He was moved to tears and laughter when I made my delivery...saying only DOS EQUIS...DOS EQUIS.. TWO EGGS!.....

"He stated that he was angry that when he returned the victims laughed at him," prosecutors said.

What makes this newsworthy is that it’s outside of the norm.

The norm being who is usually shooting up Chicago.

Man bites dog, over beer.

He Dreamed of more beer, and dead friends, so he wouldn’t have to share the beer with them.
