This reminds me of an old Cuban joke: A woman gets engaged to man and brings him home to meet her family. The family asks what he does for a living and the woman interrupts and says with pride, "He's a bellboy at the hotel." The family ohhhs and ahhhs. Later, in a private moment, the man asks his fiance, "why did you tell your family I was a bellboy?" The women replies, "because I didn't want them to find out that you're just a brain surgeon." This is funny to Cubans because a Bellboy has access to tips - tips are in foreign currency such as dollars, and foreign currency is extremely valuable. Whereas a Cuban brain surgeon will make a modest salary paid in Cuban currency. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=35 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:132356 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
