Traveling Oddities and Fun

This will be an ongoing post.  I hope it amuses you as much as it does me.  31May23 My Spanish/Castilian is horribly bad.  But funny.  Today I told a pharmacist I needed something to deal with the "bloody and dried monkeys in my nose."  I meant boogers.  Mono = Monkey; Moco = Booger.  Yes, I did know both words a priori ...honestly!  Thankfully, the monkeys have been dealt with.  And the nose specific monkeycide salve with aloe works.  Those were some nasty and crusty monkeys.  I'm glad to be rid of them. I realized this 12 hours after the fact.  No wonder they looked confused. [Added 01Jun23.  Today at breakfast I tried to recount the episode to the manager as we ate breakfast.  I literally said "Yesterday, I 'am telling' the (using the wrong gendered article) pharmacist (horribly mispronounced) ..."  Tenses are a gaping hole...everything is in the present.  Even that gets bungled frequently.] Re the monkeys that fly from my butt, please read: https:

My policy on errors, omissions, and corrections.

 Mistakes happen.   I make them more often than most.  I acknowledge them when I am aware of them. And, a record of them matters.  So when I make a mistake here: It will be acknowledged. The original post will stand as is. A new post with the new information will be created. Both the corrective post and the original will be noted with a link to the other. Both will also link to this page. Fixing and editing solely for clarity will not be noted.  This is about material facts. if you find a mistake, please let me know so I can correct it. Thanks, Jim
