Hello All!
Well, my mom just returned from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic... judging by the photos she showed me, the place is a freaking island paradise with palm trees, sand everywhere, and beautiful blue skies... anyways, she was staying in a luxury resort and within, along the sand, there were a few straw huts that acted as little shops. Owners of these shops would come out, announce their wares to attract customers, and try to single out individual beach-walkers to come in and check things out. So my mom was a target. A man came out of his hut and, in poor english, said "Canadian woman, come into my shop! It is a MAGICAL shop." My mom replied, "Really? Well, my son is a magician, what do you have for that?" Suddenly, the man looked frightened and, clearly shocked, said to my mom "YOUR SON IS MAGICIAN?" upon which he lead her into the shop and suddenly handed her a handful of beautifully made necklaces with hand-carved wooden faces, cylindrically shaped, hanging on black cord. He gave her about four of five of these necklaces and said "Take them, for free, and wear one... it will keep you safe. And give some to your son too. Just take them!!!!"... apparently the intent of these necklaces is to ward off black magic. I had a good laugh over that... wonder how he would have reacted if I was there alongside her with cards in hand .

Most of the Dominican Republic is not palm trees and happy people in huts on beaches. You can buy people there...well, rent them....wink wink. About those voodoo necklaces. We got hold of some in Santo Domingo and then eventually ended up in Recife Brazil where they also are voodoo dooing dudes. They saw the neclaces and freaked out because they Dominican ones were evil and all that...so good luck with you. Also it wasn't a 'magic shop' it was 'magical' as in Michael Jackson meets Island Zombie so you showing up in your speedo, beret, and with a deck in your hands would have likely brought terror to the people. Well, good luck when you burn in hades for accepting zombie stuff.
Did your mom get into the city and see the cathedral? |

One last thing....what was the funny part?
Here is a funny story. I am in Chile at a restaurant with a bar a bit above and overlooking the restaurant. I'm enjoying a cold brewski when this couple comes up, a brother and sister, the entire restaurant and bar are staring as they approach. I'm in full uniform and the couple says "We learn English from cards (flash cards) and friends say we joke. Tell them we speak good" I have to admit for learning English from flash cards they did great. So everyone is looking at us and I, you beer drinkers will understand, looked at my bottle and then reached down and picked up my glass full of beer and poured it all over my chest! See that Michael? The kicker was when I poured the beer on my chest, the image is rather humorous...and embarrassing let me tell you. Go work on it. |

Oh MagicSanta... I can always count on you to deliver insulting yet hilarious commentary.
And what the heck was the point of that last story? It made very little sense.

It was an example of a funny story. It didn't have to make sense. Your story had no sense and wasn't funny, that is the difference. Did your mom drink any Presidente cervasas?

The funniest thing about this thread is that with four, now five, replies it has disproportionately low views. Compare to other threads that have a similar number of postings. Something to it? Maybe...

That surely does make a lot of sense.

You should have mentioned the Frenches Michael, would have upped the views for you.

Didn't you hear? The Frenches are dead. May their comedically brilliant bodies rest in peace.
