La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for October 11, 2009

The wonder of Columbus Day, Lalo.

Here’s an Italian begging a Spainard for money to find a new trade route the the West Indies, and winds up in Miami Beach.

If the Queen of Spain had known she was financing a Condo in Miami for a geographically challenged Italian she would have had him walk the plank.

So-Happy Columbus Day.

And still not as good as your Sinko de Mayo joke.

first thing senor Coumbus should do is to stop following Billy around…..you know how he dawdles!

Taco Guy can travel through both time and space? What’s your secret T G?

Taco guy should watch out.

Columbus is going to steal his taco, wreck his cart, kill him, spread smallpox amongst his people, and enslave his children - all in the name of God of course.

And then, to top it all off, the general area that Taco Guy lives in will end up being named after some dimwit Italian guy called Amerigo.

Isn’t his name in Spanish Cristobal Colon? But few Anglo readers would know that.

I’ve been trying to come up with some jokes based on the 13 Colonies, semicolons, and colonoscopies, but I’ll leave that to others.
