Thomas Friedman is going to steal this and put it in his next book
I once walked into a bookshop in Monterrey and asked the clerk if he had any new books by Gabriel Garcia Marquéz. He looked at me like my accent marks were retarded. Then he said in nasally Spanish, "you mean, Garcia Marquez?" emphasizing the "a" which would have an accent mark over it right now but ironically I can't figure out how to do it. I felt so American.
You just had to be there, I guess.
