Comic 84 - Why weren't we warned?

I was at Nicky's last week, eating enchiladas and listening to a terrible mariachi singer croak out harsh songs while tunelessly thrashing at his guitar. He caught my eye once or twice, and I would smile out of politeness if not admiration. Encouraged, he moved a little closer with every song, until he was standing right behind me.

Before I knew it I felt an elbow lock with mine and I turned to see his toothless face inches before my own. "You have no choices", he breathed, before dragging me harshly to my feet.

The little man announced loudly to the restaurant that I was a beautiful lady just in from Las Vegas to dance the Macarena for them. Everyone cheered. My family whooped and clapped as if it were the funniest thing they'd ever seen. My sister is cool; she jumped up beside me for support. We looked at eachother and shrugged, thinking What the hell?, and together we shook our asses for the ingrates.

Though next time I'm going to Trejo's.

That is the best story I've ever heard. Had I been there, I would have joined you in the shaking :-p
