Unfiltered Story #191243

I am a bouncer checking ID at a local club. On this particular night, two hispanic teens, who barely look 17 at the oldest approach me.*

Me: Okay sir, can I just see your IDs?

Teen: Uhh…no habla ingles.

Me: Your ID sirs. Something like this? *I show them my staff ID, which has my picture on it.*

Teen: Uhhh…no habla ingles. Gracias!

*The teens attempt to move past me and enter the club, I move to stop them.*

Me: Uh, no I’m sorry but I need to know you’re both over 18 before I can let you in.

Teen: No habla ingles!

*I’m about to radio for a co-worker who speaks spanish, however, at this point the door swings open and two patrons leave the club. Behind them the comedian on stage can be heard making a very profound joke. Both teens promptly crack up laughing.*

Me: No habla ingles huh?

Teen: *snickers* Si! Si!

Me: But you apparently understand English well enough to laugh when someone tells a joke in English?

Teen: Si! Si….oh…SH**!

*They turn and scurry away down the street.*
