I needed some information about this flag, so I decided to ask the cute Mexican lady at the McDonald's where I parked my truck.
I thought I'd blow her mind with my excellent command of the Spanish language.
The conversation as related to me later by a customer went like this:

Her: "So you want to know about the flag?"
Me: "Si"
Her: "Do you speak Spanish?"
Me: "Si" (wink)
Her: (Spanish)"What do you want to know?"
Me: "Si" (wink)
Her: (Spanish)"Why do you keep winking at me?"
Me: "Si" (wink)
Her: (Spanish)"Are you some kinda nut case?"
Me: "Si" (wink)
Her: (Spanish)"Do you want me to call my husband out of the kitchen to beat the snot out of you??"
Me: "Si" (wink)

Later in the emergency room the gringo nurse told me the height of the flagpole, but when I asked her what it was made of, she looked at me like I had an extra head instead of a busted nose.
"Why.....flag material, of course!!!"
Now I felt really stupid for not knowing that, but you can bet I wasn't going to try to find out anything else from that McDonald's lady!
