South Of The Border Of Intelligence
(I’ve just answered a customer’s question in Spanish. Another customer has apparently heard it.)
Customer: “Wow, you don’t even look Mexican!
Me: “Well, that’s because I’m not.”
Customer: “But you just talked to that woman in Spanish!”
Me: “My father is Puerto Rican, so I’m pretty fluent.”
Customer: “You’re not Mexican?”
Me: “No. I’m American. Shall we go ahead with your transaction?”
Customer: “Wow. Your English is excellent. No trace of a Mexican accent.”
Me: *jokingly* “Well, it’s pretty hard to have a Mexican accent if you’ve never been to Mexico.”
Customer: *winking* “Right.” *looks around* “Don’t worry. Your secret’s safe with me.”
