George W. Bush: The common language of the globe
April 20, 2008 by William K. Wolfrum
Today, I spent some time on a farm in Brazil and even enjoyed some horseback riding. It was truly enjoyable. While a group of us rode our horses, the farmer siddle up by me and made some conversation. I’m not the best conversationalist in Portuguese, but we did ok.
“You’re from the United States?”
“Yeah, California.”
“Is that as big as Texas?”
“They are both pretty big.”
“A lot of nice beaches in California, right.”
“Yep, lots.”
“Do you like Bush?”
When you’re American “Do you like Bush?” means this: “Do I like you?”
–wkw
dude: Do you like Bush?
wkw: Beer? It taste like shit. It’s the most awful, vile, putrid thing ever perpetrated on mankind.
dude: No, No, I mean President Bush?
wkw: Oh…..I like the beer better.
