The Buttock of a Joke

Free Press
This isn't exactly gross, but it IS funny.

Carlos Eire is a Cuban who was brought to the U.S. when he was eleven. The young immigrant found himself constantly asked by American kids for Spanish cuss words.

So Carlos provided them with méteme una patada en las nalgas. That’s Spanish for “kick my buttocks”!

Monkey butts are best left unseen!

I've been studying Spanish for about a year. What a great language! One cool thing about Spanish is its colorful sayings. Here's two!

By Steve Jurvetson

1.) Cuanto mas alto trepa el mono, más se le ve el culo.” 
Translation: The higher the monkey climbs, the easier it is to see its butt.”
The more famous, a person becomes, the more people know about EVERYTHING about him…including private details!

2.) “Está tratando de cagar mas alto de lo que le da el culo.” 
Translation: “He’s trying to poop higher than his butt can reach.”
This describes someone who ACTS like a bigger deal than he actually IS. For example, a person who wears the finest clothes, drives an expensive car…but owes a lot of money on all his credit cards! 

As for me, I NEVER try to poop higher than my butt can reach. It's just common sense!
